HIS  HOLINESS  POPE  PIUS  XII 


^

POPE    PIUS    XII 

Slightly  over  a  year  has  elapsed  since  the  world  was  saddened  by  the  news 
of  the  death  of  Pope  Pius  XI.  During  the  seventeen  years  of  his  pontificate  the 
late  Holy  Father  not  only  had  won  the  filial  devotion  of  every  child  of  the  Church, 
but  progressively  had  commanded  the  universal  respect  and  publicly  declared 
tribute  of  all  discerning  minds  outside  the  fold.  At  the  time  of  his  death,  the 
radio,  the  cinema  and  the  press  united  with  the  Church  in  proclaiming  him  the 
one  fearless,  authoritative,  uncompromising  champion  of  Christian  truth  and 
Christian  peace  in  our  troubled  times. 

Quite  apart  from  the  exalted  dignity  and  superhuman  burdens  of  the  office  of 
Supreme  Pontiff,  the  incomparable  lustre  shed  upon  the  Chair  of  Peter  by  the 
achievements  of  Pope  Pius  XI  made  the  choice  of  a  successor  a  most  difficult  task. 
No  greater  guarantee  of  the  personal  qualifications  and  the  exceptional  attainments 
of  Eugenio  Cardinal  Pacelli  could  consequently  be  found  than  that  provided  by  the 
unanimous  voice  of  the  College  of  Cardinals  calling  him  to  succeed  that  valiant 
champion  of  the  cause  of  Christ,  who  like  the  Popes  of  the  early  Church  had  died 
a  martyr  to  his  supreme  vocation. 

Aristocrat  by  birth,  the  new  Pope,  long  since,  by  diligent  application  to  study 
and  to  prayer,  had  acquired  high  rank  in  the  aristocracy  of  scholarship  and  sanc- 
tity. For  years  associated  with  his  predecessor  as  Secretary  of  State,  his  exhaustive 
grasp  of  the  diplomatic  problems  of  the  Papacy,  his  intimate  familiarity  with  its 
aims  and  projects,  his  wide  international  experience  as  traveller  and  delegate,  his 
tact,  his  brilliance  and,  above  all,  his  personal  sanctity,  established  beyond  question 
the  wisdom  of  his  election.  The  very  name  he  chose,  pledge  of  his  filial  attachment, 
assured  the  Church  and  the  world  that  all  we  had  admired  and  loved  in  the  late 
Holy  Father  would  live  and  prosper  in  his  successor.  Similarly,  by  his  motto: 
"Opus  justitiae  pax", — he  proclaimed  the  solemn  consecration  of  his  pontificate  to 
the  ideal  of  a  Christian  peace. 

Such  considerations  of  themselves  would  have  been  more  than  sufficient  to 
fire  the  hearts  and  souls  of  St.  Michael's  men  with  devotion  to  their  new  God- 
given  leader.  But  in  a  special  and  much  more  personal  way  Pope  Pius  XII  has  won 
our  hearts.  Within  a  few  months  of  his  election,  he  most  graciously  deigned  to 
confer  a  signal  honour  upon  our  house.  On  October  18,  1939,  by  his  personal  com- 
mand, the  Institute  of  Mediaeval  Studies  was  elevated  to  the  rank  of  a  Pontifical 
Institute  with  the  power  of  conferring  degrees  in  the  name  of  the  Church. 

Therefore,  to  Pope  Pius  XII,  diplomat,  scholar,  saint,  promoter  of  Christian 
Peace,  Vicar  of  Christ,  our  common  Father  and  our  Friend — the  students  of  Saint 
Michael's  College  School  most  heartily  pledge  their  unfailing  devotion  and 
loyalty.  May  his  reign  be  long  and  fruitful!  May  it  be  his  privilege,  under  God, 
to  recall  a  distracted  and  a  warring  world  to  a  true  and  lasting  peace — founded  on 
the  justice  and  charity  of  Christ,  Whose  Vicar  he  is!

To  The  Students  of 
St.  Michael's  College: 

My  Dear  Boys: — 

I  am  glad  to  have  the  opportunity  of  greeting 
the  High  School  Students  of  St.  Michael's  College 
through  your  periodical,  "The  Thurible."  I  regard 
you  as  the  future  standard  bearers  of  Catholic 
Action  and  of  true  Christian  living  in  this  Province 
of  Ontario.  You  have  great  opportunities;  you  also 
have  great  responsibilities.  As  Catholic  young 
men,  you  are  the  "elect  of  God."  You  can  truth- 
fully say  of  yourselves:  "Behold,  u'hat  manner  of 
charity  the  Father  hath  bestowed  upon  us  that  we 
should  be  called  and  should  be  the  sons  of  God" 
(II  John,  III,  1). 

I  exhort  you,  therefore,  to  be  sincere  and 
loyal  "sons  of  God."  Keep  before  you  always  the 
thought  that  you  have  within  you  an  immortal 
essence  made  to  the  imiage  and  likeness  of  God. 
"Primacy  of  the  spiritual"  should  be  your  motto. 
Nearly  everyone  who  speaks  of  the  present  world 
situation  observes  that  its  cause  is  basically  spiritual 
and  moral  rather  than  economic.  Lasting  peace 
cannot  come  until  the  rights  of  Christ  as  King 
of  the  Universe  are  recognized  and  until  we.  His 
sons,  make  Him  known,  loved  and  admired  in 
our  varied  spheres  of  influence.  Be  true  to  Christ 
now  by  prayer,  by  word  and  by  example.  While 
fitting  yourselves  to  be  patriotic  citizens  of  Canada 
which  we  love  so  well,  prepare  yourselves  for 
citizenship  with  God  in  our  Eternal  Fatherland. 

May  your  young  manhood  be  ever  consecrated 
and  deified  by  God's  abiding  grace. 

Your  affectionate  Shepherd  in  Christ, 

JAMES  C.  McGUIGAN, 

Archbishop  of  Toronto.

''THE    THURIBLE'' 

The  Liturgy  of  the  Church  interpreting  Holy  Scripture  represents  St.  Michael 
the  Archangel  standing  at  the  right  hand  of  the  heavenly  altar  with  a  golden  thurible, 
from  which  goes  up  the  good  odour  of  the  prayers  of  the  saints  of  God.  Every  time 
Solemn  Mass  is  celebrated  the  incense  is  blessed  at  the  Offertory  by  a  prayer  which 
makes  reference  to  this  fact,  so  that  there  is  warrant  in  both  Scripture  and  the 
Liturgy  of  the  Church  for  regarding  the  archangel  Michael  as  alone  privileged  to 
swing  the  censer  at  the  altar  on  high.  The  thurible  therefore  is  equally  with  the 
sword  or  spear  peculiar  to  St.  Michael  and  can  be  regarded  equally  as  a  fitting 
symbol  of  the  great  archangel. 

Now  that  which  rises  from  the  thurible  when  it  is  swung  before  the  altar  is  the 
result  of  grains  of  pure  incense  placed  upon  pure  and  glowing  charcoal.  These 
materials  must  be  refined  and  miade  pure,  else  the  odour  will  not  rise  sweet  and 
penetrating.  And  burning  itself  is  a  purifying  process.  Consequently  what  rises 
from  the  glowing  thurible  suggests  and  represents  the  purest,  and  holiest,  and  best 
that  we  can  gather  together  for  the  honour  and  glory  of  God,  having  put  upon  it 
every   effort. 

In  the  case  of  this  book  this  offering  is  our  best  thoughts  and  sentiments,  which 
we  give  to  God  for  His  honour  and  glory  as  we  give  every  thing  we  do.  It  is  not 
every  story,  or  poem,  or  witticism  written  by  a  St.  Michael's  boy  which  is  published 
herein,  but  the  best  of  each  that  we  can  do,  after  thinking  and  re-thinking,  writing 
and  re-writing  what  we  have  set  out  to  compose.  The  Thurible  contains  our  best 
thoughts  and  sentiments,  which  St.  Michael  as  our  patron  offers  on  our  behalf  to 
God. 

The  image  of  the  censer  as  the  container  of  the  purified,  highly  developed,  worth- 
while thoughts  of  man  is  used  by  the  poet  Robert  Browning  in  the  Poem  A  Gram' 
marian's  Funeral,  where  he  represents  the  great  Scholar  as  carried  for  burial  by  his 
students  to  the  rarefied  atmosphere  of  a  mountain  top  (the  summit  of  knowledge.) 

"That's  the  appropriate  country;  there,  man's  thought, 

Rarer,   intenser. 
Self-gathered  for  an  outbreak,  as  it  ought. 

Chafes  in  the  censer." 

Hence  there  are  the  best  of  reasons  for  calling  St.  Michael's  Annual  the 
Thurible.  It  has  a  meaning  for  St.  Michael's  students  which  it  could  not  possibly 
have  for  other  students,  because  St.  Michael's  boys  have  a  special  claim  upon  the 
archangel,  who  alone  swings  the  thurible  before  the  throne  of  God,  standing  at  the 
right  hand  of  the  altar  of  incense.  The  thurible  belongs  to  St.  Michael  equally 
with  the  sword,  and  we,  so  to  speak,  fill  it  with  our  best  thoughts  and  sentiments, 
so  that  swinging  it  before  the  Lord,  St.  Michael  may  have  something  of  ours  to  offer 
to  God.

A  Prayer  For  Priests 

Keep    them,    we    pray    Thee, 
dearest  Lord, 

Keep    them,    for    they    are 
Thine — 

Thy  priests  whose  lives  burn 
out  before 

Thy  consecrated  shrine. 


Father  Girard 


Keep  thetn,  for  they  are  in  the  world, 
Though  from  the  world  apart; 

When  earthly  pleasures  tempt,  allure, — 
Shelter  them  in  Thy  heart. 


Keep  them,  and  comfort  them  in  hours 

Of  loneliness  and  pain 
When  all  their  life  of  sacrifice 

For  souls  seems  but  in  vain. 


Keep  them,  and  O  remember, 
Lord, 

They  have  no  one  but  Thee, 

Yet    they    have    only    human 
hearts, 

With  human  frailty. 

Keep  them  as  spotless  as  the 
Host, — 

That  daily  they  caress — 

Their  every  thought  and  word 
and  deed. 

Deign,     dearest    Lord,     to 
bless.

The  Congregation  of  St.   Basil

The   Basilian   Fathers 


Old  Wing  of  St.  Basil's  Seminary 


The  Congregation  of  St.  Basil  is  a  community  which  had  its  origin  in  the 
persecution  of  the  French  Revolution  at  the  end  of  the  eighteenth  century.  Mgr. 
Charles  d'Aviau,  last  arghbishop  of  the  ancient  see  of  Vienne,  sought  refuge  in  the 
village  of  St.  Symphorien  de  Mahun.  Here  in  1798  he  established  a  school  for 
the  training  of  young  men  aspiring  to  the  priesthood  and  placed  in  charge  Father 
Lapierre,  the  parish  priest. 

Situated  in  the  mountains 
several  miles  north  of  Lyons  the 
inaccessible  location  gave  teach- 
ers and  pupils  ample  opportunity 
to  hide  whenever  the  soldiers  of 
the  Revolution  visited  the  district. 
The  local  mayor  was  a  young  man 
who  did  all  in  his  power  to  pro- 
tect the  school  and  later  he  was 
one  of  the  founders  of  the  Basilian 
community.  In  the  autumn  of 
1800  the  classes  were  formed 
into  an  organized  school.  About 
forty  students  were  enrolled.  Two 
years  later  the  school  had  140 
pupils,  and  since  the  violence  of 
the  persecution  had  now  mod- 
erated, it  was  considered  neces- 
sary in  the  interests  of  the  school  to  move  to  the  nearby  city  of  Annonay. 

From  this  time  on  the  members  of  the  staff  lived  under  a  rule  drawn  up  by  the 
Abbe  Leorat  Picansel,  parish  priest  of  Annonay  and  Vicar  General  of  the  diocese 
of  Viviers.  As  the  first  teachers  grew  older  the  formation  of  a  religious  community 
to  continue  their  work  was  considered  and  at  the  end  of  the  priests'  retreat  in  1822 
Mgr.  Claude  de  la  Bruniere,  bishop  of  Mende  and  administrator  of  the  vacant 
diocese  of  Viviers  was  consulted.  He  approved  the  project  and  on  the  21st  of 
November  in  the  small  chapel  of  the  College,  Father  Lapierre  and  nine  companions 
knelt  one  by  one  before  the  Vicar  General  who  twenty  years  before  had  given  them 
a  Rule  of  Life  and  each  pronounced  the  promises  which  bound  them  to  their 
priestly  work  and  to  one  another  in  the  Congregation  of  St.  Basil.  Hitherto  they 
had  been  called  the  teaching  priests  of  Annonay;  now  they  chose  as  their  patron, 
St.  Basil  the  Great,  because  a  second  house  had  just  been  opened  at  Maison-Seule 

in  the  parish  of  St.  Basil.  The 
Congregation  grew  steadily  and 
by  September  15,  1837,  was  suf- 
ficiently well  known  to  receive 
the  decree  of  praise,  "amplissi- 
mum  laudis  decretum",  from  the 
Holy  See. 

Meanwhile,  former  pupils  of 
the  Congregation  were  rising  to 
places  of  prominence.  One, 
Armand,  comte  de  Charbonnel, 
was  named  second  bishop  of 
Toronto.  When  he  took  possesion 
of  cathedral  on  September  21st, 
1850,  he  was  accompanied  by 
Father  Patrick   Moloney,   C.S.B.,

St.  Michael's  College  School 


whom  he  had  obtained  to  help  him  in  a  diocese  which  embraced  more  than  half 
of  Ontario.  Two  years  later  the  Basilian  Superior  General  agreed  to  establish  a 
College  at  Toronto  and  sent  Fathers  Soulerin,  Malbos  and  Mr.  Vincent,  a 
Basilian  scholastic,  to  join  Father  Moloney.  The  new  foundation  prospered  and 
before    his   death    Father   Vincent   was    head   of  an    American    Province    of    his 

Congregation. 

In  France  the  Congregation 
continued  to  spread  and  when 
the  anti-clerical  laws  of  1902 
were  enacted,  houses  existed  at 
Annonay,  Perigueux,  Aubenas 
and  Vernoux  in  France;  at  Blidah 
and  Bone  in  Algiers;  and  Ply- 
mouth in  England.  All  with  the 
exception  of  the  last  were  trans- 
ferred to  seculars  or  confiscated. 
Community  life  was  impossible 
and  consequently  in  1921  the 
members  in  France,  with  the 
consent  of  those  in  America, 
asked  the  Holy  See  to  allow  them 
to  work  out  their  future  inde- 
pendent of  the  members  in 
America.  A  decree  of  the  Sacred  Congregation  of  Religious,  dated  June  14, 
1922,  erected  the  two  Provinces  into  separate  Congregations,  each  with  its  roots 
in  the  one  founded  in  1822. 

Delegates  from  the  various  houses  in  Canada  and  the  United  States  met  in 
General  Chapter  at  St.  Michael's  College  and  on  August  16th,  1922,  elected  their 
former  Provincial,  Very  Reverend  Francis  Forster,  as  Superior  General.  Rev. 
M.  V.  Kelly  was  chosen  Assistant  General  and  Fathers  J.  Player,  H.  Carr  and 
W.  Reach  were  named  Councillors.  On  October  14,  1938,  the  Holy  See  gave 
the  Congregation  the  highest  mark  of  approbation  by  granting  definite  approval 
of  its   Constitutions. 

Since  1922  the  growth  of  the  Congregation  of  Priests  of  St.  Basil  of  Toronto,  to 
give  the  Congregation  its  full  name,  has  been  rapid.  The  first  house  in  North 
America  had  3  priests  and  1  scholastic.  Seventy  years  later  there  were  63  priests, 
25  scholastics  and  4  novices.  At  the  beginning  of  1940  the  Congregation  had 
three  times  as  many  priests  and  four  times  the  number  of  scholastics  and  novices. 

The  general  end  of  the  Congregation  is  the  Glory  of  God  and  the  sanctification 
of  its  members.  It  undertakes  every  kind  of  priestly  work,  provided  at  least  three 
members  can  live  together  and 
perform  the  exercises  of  piety 
prescribed  in  the  Rule.  The 
chief  work  of  the  Congrega- 
tion is  the  education  of  youth. 
Before  commencing  this  work 
members  receive  a  full  pedagogi- 
cal training  founded  on  the  un- 
changing Christian  principles  of 
conduct  and  abreast  of  the  ad- 
vances of  modern  pedagogical 
science.  In  the  formation  of 
the  youths  entrusted  to  them, 
Basilians  aim  at  being  effective 
co-adjutors  of  both  the  parents 
and  the  parish  priest.  The

the  various  religious  societies  and  the  opportunities  for  attendance  at  public 
devotions  are  intended  to  supplement  but  not  to  replace  the  work  of  these 
primary  agencies.     The  following  is  a  list  of  the  houses  of  the  Congregation: 

In  The  Archdiocese  of  Toronto 

THE  CURIAL  RESIDENCE. 
The  residence  of  the  Superior 
General  is  a  special  house,  located 
in  a  separate  part  of  the  Basilian 
Seminary,  21  St.  Mary  Street, 
Toronto.  ST.  BASIL'S  NOVITI- 
ATE. The  Congregation  has  but 
one  Novitiate,  214  Tweedsmuir 
Avenue,  Toronto.  Before  being 
admitted  to  profession  all  candi- 
dates for  the  Congregation  must 
spend  one  entire  year  in  the 
Novitiate.  During  this  year  they 
are  called  novices  and  spend  all 
their  time  in  prayer.  ST.  BASIL'S 
SEMINARY.  The  house  of 
studies  for  unordained  members 
is    St.    Basil's    Seminary,    21    St. 

Mary  Street,  Toronto.  This  Seminary  accommodates  all  theological  students  but 
is  not  large  enough  to  accommodate  all  who  are  making  university  courses. 
While  studying  for  their  B.A.  degree  the  majority  of  scholastics,  the  name  given 
to  all  unordained  members  after  the  novitiate  year,  live  at  one  of  the  Basilian 
Colleges.  In  July  and  August  they  go  to  a  summer  residence  on  Straw- 
berry Island  in  Lake  Simcoe.  From  this  island  they  go  in  groups  to  the 
Columbus  Boys'  Camp  for  underprivileged  boys,  near  Orillia,  where  they  do  boy 
guidance  work  under  the  supervision  of  the  resident  Basilian  chaplain.  At  the 
island  all  scholastics  make  an  annual  retreat  on  the  ten  days  preceding  the  feast 
of  the  Assumption  of  the  Blessed  Virgin.  ST.  MICHAEL'S  COLLEGE.  The 
first  Basilian  house  was  opened  in  September,  1852,  at  what  is  now  67  Queen 
Street  East.  Six  months  later  it  was  moved  to  the  Bishop's  Palace  at  St.  Michael's 
Cathedral  and  when  the  present  site  was  occupied  in  1856  the  name  was  kept. 
In  1906  the  College  entered  into  active  Federation  with  the  University  of  Toronto 
as  the  Catholic  College  in  the  Faculty  of  Arts.  From  the  very  beginning  it 
included  a  School  Department,  offering  a  High  School  course  and  a  Commercial 
course.  THE  PONTIFICAL  INSTITUTE  OF  MEDIAEVAL  STUDIES.  The 
growth  of  graduate  study  in  philosophy  at  St.  Michael's  College  led  in  1929  to 
the  establishment  of  this  Institute,  under  the  direction  of  Professor  Etienne  Gilson 
from  Paris,  France.  In  1938  the  Canadian  Hierarchy  petitioned  the  Holy  See 
for  recognition  of  the  Institute  and  in  answer  to   their   request   a   Papal   charter 

was  granted  which  gives  the 
Institute  the  right  to  confer 
the  degrees  of  Licentiate  and 
Doctorate  in  mediaeval  studies. 
ST.  BASIL'S  CHURCH.  When 
St.  Michael's  College  moved 
to  Clover  Hill  in  1856  a  small 
church  was  attached  to  it  for 
the  convenience  of  all  Catholics 
in  the  northern  part  of  the 
city  and  surrounding  countryside. 
Originally  more  than  500  square 
miles  were  within  the  parish 
boundaries,  now  it  is  a  city  parish 
Catholic  Central,  Detroit  Covering     the     University    area.

HOLY  ROSARY  CHURCH.  The  first  territory  taken  from  the  northern  part  of 
St.  Basil's  parish  was  given  to  Holy  Rosary  Church  in  1892.  Until  1926  the  parish 
used  the  chapel  of  St.  Basil's  Novitiate.  In  that  year  a  splendid  stone  church, 
designed  after  one  erected  about  1507  at  St.  Neot's,  Huntingshire,  England,  was 
commenced  and  when  completed  and  fully  decorated  it  will  be  one  of  the  finest 
gothic  churches  in  Ontario. 

In  The  Archdiocese  of  Detroit 

CATHOLIC  CENTRAL  HIGH  SCHOOL  FOR  BOYS.  In  1928  the  Congre- 
gation was  asked  to  conduct  a  Central  High  School  for  boys  in  Holy  Rosary  parish, 
Detroit.  Four  years  later  Holy  Name  Institute  in  Blessed  Sacrament  parish  was 
also  committed  to  the  Basilians.  In  1934  the  two  schools  were  joined  on  the  site 
of  this  second  one  while  the  namie  of  the  first  was  retained.  The  enrollment  is 
now  about  625.  STE.  ANNE  DE  DETROIT.  This  parish  is  the  oldest  one  in 
the  United  States  away  from  the  coastal  regions.  It  was  founded  in  1701  and  the 
Basilians  were  asked  to  take  charge  of  it  in  1886.  It  is  located  at  the  American  end 
of  Ambassador  Bridge. 

In  the  Diocese  oF  Calgary 

ST.  MARY'S  BOYS'  SCHOOL.  This  is  a  type  of  school  seldom  met  with, 
being  a  separate  Catholic  Day  High  School  in  the  public  educational  system,  and 
as  such  requires  staff  and  equipment  to  meet  all  Provincial  standards.  It  is  located 
in  the  City  of  Calgary  and  has  about  250  pupils. 

In  The   Diocese  oF  Galveston 

ST.  THOMAS  COLLEGE.  This  College  possesses  a  University  charter,  but 
so  far  has  confined  its  work  to  the  High  School  Department.  A  new  school  to 
accommodate  600  pupils  will  be  ready  in  September  this  year.  It  is  located  in 
the  city  of  Houston,  Texas.  ST.  ANNE'S  CHURCH,  HOUSTON.  Like  Holy 
Rosary  parish  in  Toronto,  this  parish  has  grown  from  a  small  suburban  parish  to  a 
flourishing  city  one.  A  splendid  church  was  opened  on  December  8,  1939.  THE 
MEXICAN  MISSION  BAND.  In  1935  a  priest  of  the  Congregation  was  assigned 
to  work  among  the  Mexicans  living  in  the  State  of  Texas.  Many  of  these  people 
are  refugees  from  the  persecution  in  their  native  land  and  all  are  poor.  The  older 
generation  speaks  Spanish,  but  the  children,  educated  in  public  schools,  are  in 
danger  of  losing  their  Faith.  The  centre  of  this  work  is  Rosenburg,  Texas.  This 
Homie  Mission  depends  on  St.  Thomas  College  for  priests  for  its  scattered  churches 
on  Sundays,  and  on  the  Mission  Bands  in  Basilian  Schools  for  financial  help. 

In  The  Diocese  of  Hamilton 

ST.  MARY'S  CHURCH,  OWEN  SOUND.  When  the  Basilian  Fathers  under- 
took  to  look  after  this  parish  and  its  missions  in  1863,  they  received  a  territory 
covering  17  townships.  Today  in  addition  to  the  parish  of  Owen  Sound  they 
still  have  mission  parishes  at  Chatsworth,  Hepworth,  Irish  Block,  Meaford,  Thorn- 
bury  and  Wiarton. 

In  The  Diocese  of   London 

ASSUMPTION  COLLEGE.  This  College  was  opened  at  Windsor  in  1870  and 
includes  a  High  School  with  650  pupils  and  an  Arts  department  affiliated  with  the 
University  of  Western  Ontario,  London.  It  is  located  at  the  Canadian  end  of  the 
Ambassador  Bridge.  ASSUMPTION  CHURCH.  L'Eglise  de  I'Assomption  was 
begun  as  an  Indian  mission  in  1728,  and  raised  to  the  rank  of  a  parish  in 
1767.  The  present  building  dates  from  1841.  When  the  Congregation  opened 
Assumption  College  in  1870,  this  pioneer  parish  was  also  entrusted  to  it. 
Recently  a  new  church  dedicated  to  the  Blessed  Sacrament  was  opened  in 
the  western  section  of  the   parish.       ST.    JOHN    THE    BAPTIST    CHURCH, 


Twenty-Six 


AMHERSTBURG.  This  historic  parish  was  founded  as  a  mission  church  at- 
tended from  Assumption  parish.  In  1843  it  became  a  parish  and  in  1878  was 
entrusted  to  the  care  of  the  Basilians.  The  parish  territory  includes  Pelee  Island 
in  the  St.  Clair  River. 

In  The  Diocese  of  Rochester 

AQUINAS  INSTITUTE.  Aquinas  was  established  in  1922  as  a  central  free 
High  School  for  boys  in  the  city  of  Rochester.  In  1937  the  Basilians  were  asked 
to  take  charge  of  the  school,  and  at  the  same  time  it  was  found  necessary  to  charge 
a  tuition  fee  since  the  Diocese  could  not  continue  to  finance  a  free  school.  So  none 
might  be  deprived  of  a  Catholic  High  School  education,  the  Diocese  pays  for 
deserving  boys  who  cannot  afford  this  fee.     The  present  registration  is  over  1200. 

In  The  Diocese  of  Saskatoon 

ST.  THOMAS  MORE  COLLEGE.  This  College  was  opened  in  1936,  and  is 
connected  with  the  University  of  Saskatchewan  as  the  Catholic  College  of  the 
Faculty  of  Arts.  It  is  located  in  temporary  quarters  adjoining  the  campus  and  the 
University  has  set  aside  five  acres  of  land  as  a  building  site.  As  might  be  expected, 
the  enrollment  is  still  small  and  the  College  must  look  to  the  East  for  support  until 
conditions  improve  in  the  West.

The  Thurible  s  Editorial  Staff 

In  previous  years  The  Thurible  has  been  a  review  of  the  activities  of  both  the 
Arts  and  High  School  departments  of  St.  Michael's  College.  To  a  great  extent  the 
better  developed  minds  of  the  College  men  have  predominated  the  pages  of  this 
publication.  The  scattered  contributions  of  the  High  School  have  suffered  by 
comparison.  This  volume  marks  the  first  literary  attempt  of  the  High  School  to 
walk  by  itself.     If  the  shortcomings  are  too  pronounced  we  crave  your  indulgence. 

We  have  sought  in  this  volume  to  inscribe  the  records  of  the  school  year  1939-40. 
The  endeavour  has  been  to  make  the  story  clear,  concise,  simple  and  interesting. 
We  have  tried  to  make  the  Book  pleasing  to  the  eye  as  well  as  to  the  mind  and 
memory.  The  significant  events,  the  round  of  activities,  incidents,  individuals 
and  classes  are  here  pictured  and  described  that  they  may  become  vivid  once  again 
as  you  turn  these  pages  in  the  years  to  come. 

The  Editorial  Staff  is  particularly  grateful  to  Father  Whelan  for  his  untiring 
efforts  and  close  supervision  of  every  step  in  the  making  of  The  Thurible.  We  wish 
to  thank  also  the  members  of  the  faculty  and  the  students  who  have  cooperated  in 
the  construction  of  this  volume.  If  it  wins  your  approval  as  a  faithful  record  of 
the  year,  then  we  are  content  that  the  hours  of  labour  spent  in  its  compilation 
have  received  their  reward.

The  Thurible  s  Business  Staff 

Without  a  superior  optimistic  head  to  guide  and  direct  us,  we  surely  would 
have  floundered.  Little  did  we  realise  at  our  initial  gathering  what  a  tremendous 
undertaking  we  were  about.  Now  that  our  work  nears  completion  and  we  can 
see  the  realization  of  our  hopes,  our  hearts  are  filled  with  gratitude. 

We  wish  to  thank  in  a  very  special  way  those  who  so  graciously  volunteered 
to  sponsor  our  cause.  Without  their  help  this  publication  could  not  have  been 
realized.  To  each  and  every  individual  Patron  we  acknowledge  our  debt  of 
gratitude  and  express  our  sincere  thanks. 

"Patronise  our  Advertisers"  must  be  the  slogan  of  every  loyal  student  of  St. 
Michael's.  When  about  to  do  some  shopping  refer  to  our  Index  To  Advertisers. 
Our  Year  Book  would  not  be  possible  without  their  patronage. 

The  response  of  the  student-body  and  Alumni  to  our  call  for  subscriptions  has 
been  particularly  gratifying  this  year.  At  this  early  date  the  student-body  is  very 
little  short  of  100%  paid-up  subscribers,  and  "McGovern  &  Mohan"  are  still  going 
strong. 

Exuberating  with  gratitude  for  the  splendid  cooperation  we  have  received 
from  every  quarter,  we  bequeath  our  experience  and  good  wishes  to  the  Business 
Staff  of  1941-  May  our  successors  take  up  the  good  work  with  the  trials  and  errors 
of  their  predecessors  as  their  example  and  warning.

The     Men  of  Tomorrow    — and  Prayer 

By  VINCENT  KEATING 

The  mild  caress  of  the  gentle  May  wind,  along  with  the  incessant  clanging  of 
Big  Ben,  finally  managed  to  awaken  Dan  Potter  from  his  sound  sleep.  Rolling 
awkwardly  from  his  bed,  Dan  surprised  himself  by  silencing  the  pride  of  the 
Westclox  Company  in  the  first  grope.  With  the  alarm  thus  quieted,  he  went 
through  his  usual  setting  up  exercises  which  consisted  of  stifling  a  yawn,  rubbing 
sleep-filled  eyes,  stretching  long  arms  and  legs,  and  uttering  a  long,  soft  sigh.  Then 
he  knelt  down  for  his  morning  prayers. 

Nothing  extraordinary  about  that?  No,  but  that  last  act  was  the  first  one  in  a 
long  line  of  similar  incidents  which  would  take  place  throughout  Dan  Potter's  day. 
Why?  Because  he  was  a  student  at  St.  Michael's  College  School.  Undoubtedly, 
as  soon  as  you  saw  the  words,  St.  Michael's  College,  you  thought  of  championship 
hockey  teams,  football  teams,  famous  alumni,  and  so  on,  but  1  wonder  how  many 
of  you  thought  of  St.  Michael's  in  the  light  of  Religion,  Church,  and  Prayer. 

Certainly,  all  the  "boys"  who  have  passed  through  the  "old  school"  have  felt 
that  atmosphere  of  prayer  and  Catholicity  which  pervades  every  nook  and  corner 
of  the  building.  "That  which  is  in  the  atmosphere",  a  professor  of  Logic  once 
stated,  "must  be  absorbed,  since  one  must  breath  the  atmosphere  to  live."  There- 
fore, the  students  at  St.  Michael's  are  most  assuredly  influenced  by  this  "air  of 
Prayer".  But  don't  take  my  word  for  it,  let  Dan  Potter,  who  represents  a  typical 
scholar,  prove  this  point  to  you  as  he  goes  through  an  "ordinary"  day  at  the  "Bay 
Street  Mansion  of  Learning." 


As  our  hero  comes  into  focus,  he  is  sitting  at  his  desk  in  one  of  the  big  rooms 
on  the  first  floor,  trying  vainly  to  learn  a  French  vocabulary  before  the  nine 
o'clock  bell  rings.  But  too  late!  There  goes  the  bell!  Immediately  Dan  and  his 
classmates  kneel  down  and  reverently,  devotedly,  yes  fervently,  say  the  "Veni 
Sancte  Spiritus"  and  the  "Ave  Maria".  Thus  the  whole  day  has  been  put  under 
the  care  and  protection  of  the  Holy  Ghost  and  the  Blessed  Mother. 

Two  periods  swiftly  fade  into  history,  and  morning  recess  once  more  melts  the 
numerous  classes  into  one  huge,  laughing,  pushing,  body.  But  what's  this?  Is  our 
Dan  leading  a  parade?  No,  he  just  happens  to  be  at  the  head  of  the  large  number 
of  boys  who,  every  day,  come  fair  weather  or  foul,  spend  their  recess  in  making  a 
visit  to  the  Blessed  Sacrament  in  St.  Basil's  Church.  Here,  the  "men  of  tomorrow" 
raise  their  youthful  hearts  in  prayer,  petition,  and  thanksgiving  to  their  Lord  and 
Master. 

The  shrill  outer  bell  rings  out  over  the  campus,  calling  the  young  scholars  back 
to  their  books.  Inside  Dan's  classroom  we  find  that  a  "snapper"  is  about  to  take 
place.  (All  students  and  ex-students  will  know  that  a  "snapper"  is  just  the 
Michaelean  word  for  a  test).  Before  this  event  commences,  however,  Dan  and 
his  fellow  students  once  more  pour  forth  their  hearts  in  the  "Ave  Maria"  and  the 
"Veni  Sancte  Spiritus".  As  the  boys  get  up,  Dan  raises  his  eyes  to  the  Crucifix 
(which,  by  the  way,  holds  the  centre  position  on  the  front  wall  in  every  classroom) 
and  notices  that  his  Crucified  Saviour  is  stretching  His  arms  to  either  side  of  the 
room,  as  if  to  call  down  upon  these,  His  beloved  children.  His  helping  grace. 

Two  more  periods  have  come  and  gone,  and  to  the  whole  school,  the  deep, 
resonant,  Angelus  bell  sounds  out  its  message  of  the  Annunciation.  As  the  bell 
tolls  its  pealing  notes,  we  see  that  Dan  is  once  more  on  his  knees,  as  he  answers  his 
teacher  in  this  beautiful  prayer.

Time  out  for  lunch!  Downstairs  in  the  large  clubroom,  some  three  hundred 
boys  are  opening  their  lunches — some  with  smiles  as  they  peer  inside  at  a  tasty 
morsel  or  two;  others  with  scowls  of  disgust  as  their  investigation  reveals  that  they 
have  "that  awful  stuff  again!"  Did  I  hear  somebody  ask  if  this  period  of  cessation 
from  study  was  also  a  time  in  which  prayer  was  forgotten?  I  did!  Well  now,  it  is 
very  much  the  opposite,  for — but  wait!  Dan  will  prove  it  for  me!  He  is  not  here 
in  the  clubroom,  he  is  over  in  St.  Basil's  Church.  Let  us  go  over  there  and  see 
why. 


As  we  enter  that  stately  House  of  God,  we  quietly  get  down  upon  our  knees,  for 
a  priest  is  just  putting  the  Blessed  Sacrament  upon  the  altar  for  Exposition.  A 
choir,  in  which  "Our  Dan"  sings,  renders  the  "O  Salutaris"  while  the  golden  mon- 
strance, as  radiant  as  the  sun,  shines  upon  these  good  boys  of  St.  Michael's  who  have 
come  to  adore  their  God.  When  the  Hymn  is  over,  the  priest  leaves  the  altar.  In 
a  few  moments,  Dan,  too,  leaves  the  Church,  but  remaining  behind  to  pray  before 
the  Exposed  Body  of  the  Saviour  are  several  boys  in  cassock  and  surplice — Knights 
of  the  Blessed  Sacrament. 

Second  by  second,  minute  by  minute,  the  lunch  hour  draws  to  a  close.  But 
it  has  not  been  "just  another  noon"  for  Dan  Potter.  His  active  young  mind  notices 
how  the  shadow  cast  on  the  ground  by  the  prefect,  in  his  flowing  soutane,  is  much 
the  same  as  a  shadow  of  One  who  lived  on  earth  nineteen  hundred  years  ago;  how 
the  rosary  beads,  slipping  through  the  fingers  of  the  Study  Hall  Master,  are  much  the 
same  as  the  days  of  his  life,  drawing  slowly  but  surely  to  an  end;  and  how  the  mon- 
strance held  over  his  head  and  the  heads  of  some  two  hundred  schoolmates,  at  one 
o'clock  Benediction,  is  much  the  same  as  the  Divine  Lord  sitting  in  His  heavenly 
throne,  irradiating  His  graces  and  gifts  to  mankind. 


The  afternoon  session  of  school  begins,  of  course,  with  prayer,  and  Dan  once 
more  answers  his  teacher  in  the  "Veni  Sancte  Spiritus"  and  the  "Ave  Maria".  Two 
periods  full  of  learning,  humour,  and  Catholic  teaching,  hasten  with  the  seconds 
into  the  past.  The  minute  hand  of  the  clock  succeeds  in  catching  up  with  the 
hour  hand,  at  a  quarter  to  three.  A  bell  rings — and  then  begins  the  most  important 
class  of  the  day — Religious  Knowledge.  This  half-hour  keeps  Dan  busy  learning 
Religion,  Doctrine  and  Practice,  Church  History,  or  one  of  the  Pope's  Encyclicals. 
But  R.K.  periods,  as  all  good  things,  must  come  to  an  end.  Thus  at  three-fifteen,  the 
doors  of  the  school  are  opened  wide,  and  through  those  portals,  goes  "Our  Dan", 
surrounded  by  the  "men  of  to-morrow" — the  "men"  who  have  been  raised  in 
prayer,  groomed  in  Catholicity,  and  schooled  in  religion — the  students  of  S.M.C. 


So  friends,  we  have  witnessed  "just  another  day"  at  St.  Michael's.  We  have 
seen,  and  felt,  that  "air  of  prayer",  that  "atmosphere"  which  was  mentioned  above, 
but  even  as  yet,  we  have  not  met  the  numierous  activities  of  the  Mission  Society,  nor 
the  soul-stirring  services  of  the  Blessed  Virgin's  Sodality,  nor  the  friendly  "Shepherd 
and  Flock"  relationship  between  priest  and  student.  Yet — I  know  that  you  will 
join  with  me  in  the  prayer  that  Schools  such  as  this  shall  flourish — forever  and 
ever!

(Section  1) 

"It  ain't  the  individual, 
Nor  the  army  as  a  whole, 
But  the  everlasting  team-work 
Of  every  bloomin'  soul'" 

It  is  the  team-work  of  the  fellows  that  makes  XIII- 1  one  of  the  best  classes  in 
St.  Michael's.  Widely  differing  in  character,  widely  separated  in  sources,  we 
function  as  smoothly  as  a  well-drilled  team.  Soon  we  shall  be  separated;  till  then, 
we  are  Thirteen-One. 

The  student  who  has  trekked  the  farthest  to  attend  classes  in  XIII-1  is  Maurice 
Claivay — he  thumbed  his  way  from  Switzerland!  Also  from  the  east  is  Maurice 
Marois,  a  tennis  player  from  Quebec  city.  From  away  down  south  in  Colombia, 
South  America,  come  the  Sanclemente  brothers,  and  from  Northern  Ontario  comes 
Joyal,  of  the  Haileybury  Joyals.  But  where  is  West?  In  this  bridge  foursome 
West  will  have  to  be  dummy.  "Oh  no!  you  don't",  says  Cooney,  "I'm  from  Park- 
dale;  I'll  be  West." 

Our  students  have  a  flair  for  administration.  Look  at  Leo  McGrady,  president 
of  the  Mission  Society,  and  Eddie  Shuba,  prefect  of  the  Sodality.  Among  the 
shining  lights  in  the  realm  of  scholarship,  two  are  especially  brilliant:  that  tall  chap, 
Denison,  and  the  little  fellow,  Leah.  D'Agostine,  Keating,  Hannan,  and  many 
others  are  right  up  with  them.  What  about  talented  actors?  There  can  be  only 
one  Hannan.  And  how  fortunate  are  we  to  have  even  one  Hughes!  "Room 
Service"  wouldn't  have  been  the  same  without  them,  or  without  William  Hilary, 
Junior  O'Brien,  John  O'Hara  or  Eddie  Shuba.  Talented  athletes?  (Who  said  that 
is  a  contradiction  of  terms!)  Pandy,  Shuba,  and  Cooney  supplied  much  of  the 
brawn  for  the  rugby  team.  Bill  Calahan  (our  class  president),  Doyle,  Zambri, 
Bennett  and  McDonough  accounted  for  many  goals  as  well  as  a  great  deal  of  fight 
and  drive  in  our  Junior  O.H.A.  "Bu::ers." 

We  have  our  humourists,  too.  Listen  to  Jitterbreeches  O'Brien  translating 
from  French  to  English:  ".  .  .  '  and  she  ate  her  strawberries  with  relish'  .  .  .  That 
can't  be  right  .  .  .  What  kind  of  relish  would  she  eat  with  strawberries?"  And 
George  Tumino  explains  in  French  why  he  is  late:  "Juh  swee  on  ruhtard  parss 
kuh  .  .  .  ugh  .  .  ." 

Holding  up  the  wall  in  the  sun-bathed  southern  border  of  XIII-1  is  Bennett, 
trying  to  fold  his  six  or  seven  feet  of  flesh  and  bone  to  fit  his  seat.  Beside  him  sit — 
or  lie — those  two  worthies.  Bill  Doyle  and  Allan  O'Gorman.  Swinging  back  to  the 
northern  end  of  the  room  we  come  to  the  Mannerheim-Weis-Hillock-McDonough- 
Johnson-Quinn-Macdonald-Maginot  line  which  separates  and  protects  us  from 
XIII-2,  next  door.  The  sentinels  along  here  keep  a  sharp  look-out  through  the 
peep-holes  in  the  wall,  ready  to  warn  us  of  a  raid. 

Such  is  the  present  aspect  of  XIII-1.  Today  we  are  together;  soon  we  shall 
part.  Where  our  paths  lead,  or  whether  they  will  cross,  we  cannot  say.  One 
thing  we  do  know — we  shall  stand  by  each  other  and  by  our  Faith;  we  shall  do  our 
best  to  be  faithful  Alumni  of  St.  Michael's,  as  so  many  others  have  been  before  us.

Grade   XIII 

{Section  2) 

In  years  to  come,  I  will  sink  into  my  chair,  light  my  pipe,  and  my  thoughts  will 
drift  like  the  smoke,  curling  up  and  wandering  aimlessly  through  the  years  to  the 
ivy-clad  walls  of  St.  Michael's  and  into  my  graduating  room. 

Dimly  the  faces  appear  out  of  the  haze.  Why,  there  is  the  lanky  figure  of 
Maisonville;  he  was  a  slow  but  earnest  fellow  with  an  ever-questioning  look  on  his 
face.  His  face  is  blotted  out  by  the  laughing  mien  of  Egan,  who  was  always  willing 
to  stop  and  pass  a  little  gossip  with  Wallace  Armstrong,  the  smallest  fellow  in  the 
class,  who  sat  beside  Egan,  but  more  often  with  him. 

Dear  me,  I  am  being  left  behind,  for  an  endless  parade  is  passing  by;  but  if  I 
hasten  I'll  catch  up  where  I  left  off.  As  I  hurry  along  whom  do  I  see  but  Hurley,  late 
as  usual,  and  trying  to  get  back  to  his  place.  From  far  ahead  of  Hurley  a  deep  voice 
hoarsely  yells,  "Hy!  Forster"  and  sure  enough  it  is  Grossi  swinging  along  with 
baggy  pants  and  brief  case. 

Rudely  shattering  my  reverie  a  voice  cuts  through  the  ages  in  a  tone  that  re- 
minds me  of  my  Irish  ancestors,  "Bingo!  Give  me  the  third  person  plural  present 
indicative  of  progredior."  In  a  cheery  voice  unsuspecting  Bill  Miller  queries, 
"Active  or  Passive?"  and  so  let  us  leave  him  with  Father  Regan. 

Across  my  memory  dance  Wilkins  and  Plant,  our  enthusiastic  standard- 
bearers  of  the  C.Y.O.  and  eminent  authorities  on  any  social  activity  in  town. 

Oh  well!  On  with  my  reminiscing,  for  there  is  CuUan  beckoning  to  me.  He  is 
pushed  aside  by  meek-mannered  Allen  who  asks  me  for  another  ticket  on  the 
Hockey  Pool — a  great  gambler  he  was.  A  burst  of  laughter  causes  a  little  grin  to 
come  to  my  usually  sober  face,  for  there,  appearing  out  of  the  dim  past,  are  the 
south  west  corner  occupants,  Pickett,  Murphy,  Dennison  and  Boyle,  a  long  row  of 
intelligent  faces  from  \vhom  a  continual  buzz  of  activity  arose. 

The  foot-ball  team  with  its  representatives  from  our  room,  Poupore,  Jacobs 
and  McGovern,  comes  plunging  through  the  darkness.  Then  the  fighting  Gaels  of 
hockey.  Murphy  and  McCauley,  skate  over  the  years  and  I  feel  a  new  thrill  of 
pleasure  from  the  remembrance  of  those  fellows  who  kept  the  spsrting  spirit  alive. 

"Let's  see  some  school  spirit",  I  would  holler,  and  the  gang  would  slump  into 
their  seats  buffled,  and  from  McGovern  a  muffled  roar  would  issue  forth,  to  be 
echoed  on  the  other  side  by  Willie  Armstrong,  the  tallest  fellow  in  the  class.  I 
used  to  think  there  was  nothing  to  compare  with  my  speeches,  but  I  eventually  found 
out  that  my  words  just  echoed  around  their  heads  and  bounced  out.  Boland  and 
Don  Bennett  were  two  fellows  who  had  a  yen  for  my  speeches  but  I  believe  it  was 
just  a  passing  fancy.     How  I  wish  I  could  once  more  holler  at  them! 

I  blow  another  ring  of  smoke  to  mingle  with  the  other  wreaths,  and  through  the 
clouds  of  hazy  smoke  I  picture  Cookie's  youthful  blushing  face;  then  the  "big 
Anderson  boy"  ambles  up  and  says,  "Hello,  Forster,  where  have  you  been  all  this 
time?" 

"And  that  goes  for  me  too,  Denny  kid!"  yells  husky  Downs,  side  by  side  with 
Billy  Green. 

The  smoke  is  drifting  away  and  1  try  to  catch  a  last  glimpse,  a  last  picture 
of  thirteen-two.  Lalor  laughingly  waves  good-bye;  Daniels  sinks  into  the  darkness, 
and  Bowyer  and  McCormick,  arm  in  arm,  drop  out  of  sight,  followed  by  the  misty 
shape  of  Timmons. 

I  shall  never  forget  St.  Michael's  and  St.  Michael's  will  never  forget  you, 
thirteen-two. 


"Good'hye    thirteeti'two, 
Good'bye  St.  Michael's."

Grade   XII 

(Section  I) 

Four  years  ago,  in  1936,  most  of  us  met  for  the  first  time  in  1-A.  The  air  of 
unfamiliarity  soon  disappeared;  time  passed  quickly  until  final  examinations  peered 
at  us  with  malign  satisfaction.  The  teacher's  apparent  motto,  "On  ne  passe  pas", 
left  many  lying  wounded  on  the  field.  However,  after  several  depletions  and 
several  additions,  we  are  here  today  in  XII-1. 

We  have  one  student  who  is  very  popular  and  particularly  clever.  That  boy 
is  deep-voiced,  curly-haired  Stan  Hajdasz.  Stan  has  almost  always  been  our  class 
president;  he  has  led  our  form  in  marks  since  we  first  came  here.  He  is  known  for 
his  dramatic  abilities,  as  is  tall,  handsome  Hubert  Coughlin.  You  will  remember 
them  both  for  their  fine  performances  in  "Room  Service."  Charlie  Dobias's 
tendencies  are  more  toward  Music.  He  is  a  popular  violinist  in  the  College 
Orchestra;  last  summer  he  won  the  gold  medal  at  the  C.N.E.  "open"  for  violin 
soloists.  We  predict  a  famous  future  for  him.  We  have  another  Charlie  with  us, 
Charlie  Cira.  He  is  a  candid  camera  artist — he  turned  up  the  other  day  with  pic- 
tures of  all  the  teachers.  He  had  taken  them  all  in  class,  unnoticed  by  the  teachers 
and  most  of  the  pupils. 

XlI-1  is  well  represented  in  sports  circles.  On  the  High  School  football  team 
Doug  Ingram  played  a  fine  game,  as  did  Emil  Horvath  who  caught  the  forwards 
and  gave  the  girls  a  thrill.  With  these  two  in  the  rugby  team  were  "Vinnie" 
McNamara,  "Ding-dong"  Bell  (Bell  of  the  semaphore  tackle),  and  Paul  Greenhill. 
In  hockey  XII-1  has  contributed  such  stars  as  Vince  Gilkinson,  who  plays  at  school 
and  for  St.  Helen's  C.Y.O.;  "Red"  Ingram,  whose  brilliance  on  ice  is  only  rivalled 
by  the  brilliance  of  his  hair;  Armand  Durand,  who  was  goalie  for  St.  Vincent's 
C.Y.O.  finalists  last  year;  Billy  Macdonald  ("Squeak"),  who  even  went  so  far  as 
organizing  a  team  in  Forest  Hill;  and  countless  others,  who  infest  every  rink  in 
town.  Outside  of  football  and  hockey  we  are  equally  well  represented.  Vince 
Gilkinson  plays  lacrosse  for  St.  Helen's  C.Y.O. ;  Julius  Petrinec  and  "Buzz" 
Bozzato  play  excellent  handball,  as  Fr.  Dolan,  their  adversary  in  that  sport,  will 
admit. 

Mike  O'Brien  is  a  fast-talking,  excited  Irishman.  He  is  a  persistent  collector 
(not  the  "We  Never  Sleep"  type)  for  the  Missions,  the  Ordinandi  fund,  and  what- 
ever comes  up.  Ed  Piatt,  the  class  president  this  year,  has  a  manner  of  speech 
unexcelled  everywhere.  No  one  can  argue  with  him:  his  protesting  "Sir!",  his 
intellectual  accents,  his  undeniable  wit,  all  these  set  the  victim  laughing  before  he 
can  prove  a  point  against  Ed  Piatt.  The  famous  Mulhall  cousins,  Vernon 
("Junior")  and  Eugene  ("Big  Mulhall")  seemi  to  have  a  system  of  never  being  at 
school  together.  When  one  is  here,  the  other  is  at  home.  Near  the  back  of  the 
room  sit  two  pals,  Joe  Attard  and  Laurent  Lefrancois.  Joe  is  an  orator,  and  a  good 
one,  for  last  year  he  won  first  prize  in  the  C.Y.O.  contests.  "Lanfranconi"  always 
tells  us  about  "the  beauty  I  was  out  with  last  night."  Don  Lawlor  is  famous  for 
being  a  ladies'  man  and  for  his  vigorous  imagination.  Our  silent  men  are  Ken 
Sullivan,  who  now  and  then  perks  up  for  an  argument;  Duffy,  a  staid,  conservative 
Irish  lad,  geneologist  and  handy-man  of  general  knowledge;  and  Miller,  an  air- 
plane enthusiast.  Paul  Greenhill,  who  supplies  much  daily  humour,  says  he  is 
going  to  be  a  "barber  in  the  Royal  Hair  Force." 

Such  is  XII- 1.  Father  Dolan  always  says  of  a  promising  boy,  "I  have  great 
hopes  for  him."  Well,  we  have  great  hopes  for  ourselves.  May  God  grant  that 
we  be  not  disappointed. 

ATTILIO  BOZZATO  and  EMIL  HORVATH.

"Tho'  much  is  taken,  much  abides;  and  tho* 
We  are  not  now  that  strength  which  in  old  days 
Moved  earth  and  heaven;  that  which  we  are,  we  are." 

We  cannot  say  that  we  speak  in  numbers  for  "that  which  we  are,  we  are",  and 
that  goes  for  the  whole  twenty  of  us. 

You'll  find  us  "at  home"  inside  one  of  the  many  doorways  that  stud  the  east 
to  west  corridor  of  the  first  floor.  Our  members  hardly  need  any  formal  intro- 
duction, but  to  those  who  possibly  may  not  have  miet  us  one  and  all,  attend! 

For  good-fellowship  and  efficiency  along  organization  lines  look  up  Bill  Fean, 
our  class  president.  With  the  able  assistance  of  Gord  Handrahan  and  Frank  Weis, 
the  mission  society  hums  with  industry. 

Our  show  man,  of  course,  is  that  bundle  of  Italian  energy  and  wit,  Joe  Moga- 
vero.  No  wonder  we  copped  the  half-holiday  with  inspiration  like  that  right  in 
our  midst. 

A  ready  smile  and  the  roguish  twinkling  of  an  eye  are  Joe  Temple's  chief 
contributions. 

We're  sure  there  must  be  one  in  every  class.  Yes,  we  mean  a  poet.  We  hope 
this  small  excerpt  will  do  no  injustice  to  our  own  bard.  Jack  McTague.  Of  the 
longitudinal  Paul  Coughlin,  he  writes: 

"We  have  a  man  whose  head  scrapes  the  ceiling. 
It's  Coughlin,  and  that's  when  he's  kneeling." 

By  the  way,  the  same  Paul  proves  to  be  "up  there"  when  dad  opens  the  report 
card. 

Whoops!  we  almost  missed  the  diminutive  Bill  Harding.  Don't  blush  like 
that.  Bill! 

Rumour  hath  it  that  the  Brown  boys,  Frank  and  Joe,  are  going  to  get  kilts  to 
match  those  shirts. 

"Gimme  my  boots  and  saddle,"  sings  Cliff  Nealon,  "and  lemme  roam  the 
range". 

Our  representative  in  the  sporting  world,  of  course,  is  "Bill"  Desilets. 

We  wonder  if  Fred  Hickey  will  finally  succeed  in  wresting  any  vi'armth  from 
that  radiator. 

"There's  nothing  like  a  good  friend"  is  the  mutual  sentiment  of  Paul  Irish  and 
Felix  Fritz. 

Ed  McKay  finds  that  8.30  study  isn't  such  a  bad  thing  after  all. 

"Why  must  there  be  such  things  as  "cum"  clauses  with  the  subjunctive?" 
(Joe  Carter). 

"Just  give  me  a  gallon  of  gas",  says  Dick  ("Lucky")  Stedman,  "and  that  bus'll 
talk  for  you." 

Joe  Healy  has  been  so  quiet  we  almost  passed  him  by.  Say  "hello"  to  the 
folks,   Joe. 

Thus  ends  the  survey  of  our  members  one  and  all.  But  before  we  leave  you, 
gather  round  once  more  and  meet  those  guides  of  our  educational  destiny,  those 
to  whom  we  owe  a  debt  of  deepest  gratitude  for  what  they  achieve  in  teaching  us, 
in  the  words  of  our  school  motto,  "goodness,  discipline,  and  knowledge." 

If  we  are  in  search  of  new  "angles".  Father  John  Mclntyre  is  the  man  to  see. 
Mr.  Faught  is  always  a  willing  exponent  of  the  values  of  that  elusive  "X".  Our 
native  tongue  lives  and  makes  live  with  Fr.  O'Leary  to  give  it  inspiration.  And 
who  is  it  that  gives  us  that  "bon  esprit  des  Fran<;ais"?  Why,  it  is  Father  Warren  of 
course.  For  digging  up  the  past  Mr.  Flanagan  takes  the  laurels.  And  our  own 
home-room  teacher,  Mr.  Hanrahan,  just  dotes  on  nasty  Latin,  tense  synopses  and 
religious  topics.

(Section  3) 

One  room  in  St.  Michael's  College  School  holds  a  few  of  the  future  greats  of 
history,  leaders  of  the  next  generation  and  the  hope  of  our  civilization.  To  fully 
appreciate  these  gentle  genii  one  must  take  a  peek  into  our  home-room  situated 
somewhere  above  Bay  Street. 

Attracted  by  the  noise  many  have  come  to  visit  us.  They  catne  to  laugh,  but 
remained  to  admire.  Everyone  is  welcomed  by  the  ever-gracious  Bob  Hurley 
who  accepted  the  aid  of  Wes  Sumner,  and  together  they  point  out  the  notables  to 
our  many  visitors.  To  the  proud  and  serious  members  of  the  other  grades  they 
would  exhibit  such  intellectuals  as  Jerry  Midghall  and  John  Maloney.  The 
Freshmen  were  always  entertained  by  the  clever  antics  of  such  talented  young  men 
as  Alex  Campbell,  Bill  Lundy  and  Mel  FuUerton. 

During  the  Football  Season  many  Sons  of  XII-3  distinguished  themselves  by 
their  valiant  efforts  in  behalf  of  S.M.C.  Roland  Mclsaac,  a  newcomer,  played 
brilliantly,  as  did  Joe  Cleary,  Joe  Crothers  and  Bob  Hurley.  XII-3  has  also  been 
very  generous  in  her  contribution  to  the  Buzzers,  St.  Michael's  entry  in  the  O.H.A. 
Captain  Joe  Cleary  has  been  sensational  in  the  net.  Frank  "the  mite"  White  and 
Farrell  Gallagher  have  been  playing  grand  hockey  on  the  forward  line.  "Clap- 
em-down"  Crothers  has  given  Joe  Cleary  good  protection,  even  if  his  methods  do 
not  meet  with  approval  from  the  officials.  Ernie  Midghall  and  Jack  Ferguson 
were  alternates  and,  whenever  they  played,  always  gave  their  best.  In  the  field  of 
speed  we  can  pit  against  the  field  Earl  Longarini  in  his  flashy  Ford,  John  Murphy 
on  the  stairs,  Frank  Sevigny  on  roller  skates.  Earl  Koster  in  "going  to  sleep"  and 
Basil  Faught  in  "just  walkin'  ". 

Among  our  contributions  to  the  social  elite  are  the  renowned  Frank  Wiertz  and 
Paul  Morrison.  To  provide  variety  on  our  ship  of  learning  we  have  Austin  O'Boyle 
and  Robert  Gravelle.  Every  good  ship  must  carry  ballast,  so  we  have  provided 
ourselves  with  John  Peak  and  Joseph  Regan  whose  cherubic  plumpness  has 
lightened  the  halls  of  study  with  many  a  ray  of  sunshine. 

Our  ship,  which  has  carried  us  through  the  year,  was  constructed  by  the 
master  craftsman  Father  O'Leary,  who  now  so  quietly  and  judiciously  guides  our 
way.  Under  the  influence  of  Fr.  Whelan  we  have  sailed  along  with  comparative 
ease  through  the  ages  of  long  ago.  Other  beneficent  pedagogues  dearly  beloved 
by  this  happy  band  of  scholars  are  Father  Warren  and  Mr.  Record. 

For  us  only  one  sorrow  overshadows  this  school  year — the  coming  of  Summer 
Vacation. 

To  all  of  our  Twelfth  Grade  teachers  we  express  our  gratitude;  to  next  year's 
thirteenth  grade  teachers  we  hereby  hurl  a  warning. 

KERVIN  McDONOUGH.

Grade   XI 

{Section  I) 


From  the  standpoint  of  honours  in  studies,  prominence  in  athletics,  and 
interest  in  general  activities,  XI- 1  ranks  high  among  the  classes  of  the  school.  Most 
of  us  have  been  together  during  the  two  previous  years,  when  we  brought  renown  to 
the  classes  of  IX-1  and  X-1  successively,  but  this  year  our  prestige  is  enhanced  by 
additions  from  across  Canada.  Jack  Fraser  hails  from  Kirkland  Lake;  Jack 
Ferguson,  of  Junior  B  hockey  fame,  from  Windsor;  while  Norman  Eversfield 
comies  from  far  off  Vancouver.  Jean  Marois,  popular  goalie  for  the  Midgets,  is  our 
real  French  boy  from  Old  Quebec.  From  not  so  far  afield  comes  another  remark- 
able pair,  Bill  Grell  and  Paul  McRae;  Bill  is  known  for  having  opinions  of  his  own, 
while  Paul  does  the  talking  for  the  twain.  Charles  Doherty  joined  us  from  X-2 
with  his  vocabulary  full  of  big  words,  but  with  no  appendix. 

Wallace  "Flash"  Finley  and  Leonard  Casciato  are  our  gold  medalists.  Leonard 
won  it  in  First  year,  and  Wallace  in  Second.  We  are  all  trying  to  win  it  this  year. 
Aside  from  studies,  Leonard  operates  the  motion  picture  machine  for  the  school 
and  carries  on  private  research  in  all  fields  of  science;  while  "Flash"  plays  hockey 
for  the  Midgets  in  T.H.L.,  and  is  an  active  treasurer  for  the  missions. 

Paul  McLean,  another  of  the  long  line  of  McLeans,  and  George  Dodd,  played 
on  the  Senior  Rugby  team  and  on  the  Midget  puck  squad.  Melville  Shand  and 
Hubert  Teolis  amazed  and  annoyed  Mr.  Sheedy  in  House  League  Rugby.  Bill 
"One-ton"  McTague  is  one  of  our  handball  fiends,  as  well  as  an  expert  with  the 
camera — (ask  him  to  show  you  his  classroom  photos).  Hugh  "Three  Star"  Foley — 
academic,  rugby  and  hockey  star — is  puck-chasing  for  the  Bantams;  while  gentle 
Bob  White  was  not  so  gentle  in  House  League  rugby  or  hockey. 

Norman  "Tell  us  a  story  Father"  Lingeman  is  the  wise-cracker  of  the  class, 
but  always  seems  to  make  the  right  crack  at  the  wrong  time. 

Jerry  Midghall  is  our  champion  heckler  and  a  crooner  as  well.  Hubert  Teolis 
seems  lost  this  year  without  a  wall  or  post  to  lean  against,  but  manages  to  keep  John 
Devaney,  our  budding  journalist,  under  control.  Frank  Wilson,  Frank  Cunerty 
and  Anthony  Balaban  are  usually  quiet  fellows  but  seem  to  have  their  troubles 
with  Matt  "Tough  Guy"  Nealon.  Tom  "Romeo"  CuUen  spends  most  of  his  time 
keeping  an  eye  on  Norm  Lingeman  and  waiting  for  the  three-fifteen  bell.  When 
David  Roche  stands  up  to  say  anything.  Hub  Higgins  can  be  counted  on  to  argue 
him   down. 

Gerald  Murphy  and  Grant  Meyers  can  usually  be  found  somewhere  together, 
but  never  in  an  argument.  Burke  Seitz,  aside  froni  witticisms,  and  the  school 
band,  found  time  to  be  elected  class  president. 

But  with  all  this  array  of  talent  in  fields  of  scholarship,  athletics,  and  good 
humour,  XI- 1  will  probably  go  down  in  history  as  the  class  that  originated  the 
Basic  French  Club.  Desmond  Fitzgerald  is  the  president,  and  a  perfect  executive. 
Don  Finley  is  advertising  manager  and  former  editor  of  the  now  defunct  paper. 
Steve  Hajdasz  is  the  noted  treasurer.  Smiling  Don  is  also  librarian  for  the  Science 
Club,  as  well  as  one  of  the  most  popular  boys  around  the  school;  while  Steve  is 
better  known  as  "Sasha"  from  his  star  role  in  the  play  "Room  Service".  Wallace 
"Christine"  Piatt  had  a  leading  part  in  the  same  play.  Another  actor  of  note  is 
Erskine  Lamer,  a  star  "villain"  in  the  play,  "Curse  you,  Jack  Dalton." 

Active  in  Sport,  diligent  in  Work,  faithful  Knights  of  the  Blessed  Sacrament, 
showing  an  active  interest  in  many  fields — Basic  French  Club,  Camera  Club,  Science 
Club,  Dramatics,  Public  Speaking — eager  in  their  support  of  the  Missions,  and  at 
the  same  time  displaying  a  good  sense  of  humour:  such  are  the  boys  of  XI-1  of 
1939-40  and  I'm  mighty  glad  to  be  one  of  them.

(Section  2) 

We  are  the  boys  of  Eleven-two 
Who  now  before  you  pass  in  review. 

We  warn  you  though,  and  say  again, 
It  may  cause  you  no  end  of  pain. 

For  here  conies  our  mischief  makers  three 
FuUerton,  Grignon  and  Jerry  Coffey. 

Following  hard,  though  bright  and  cheery, 
Are  the  serious  minded  Boland  and  Vetere. 

Next  with  noise,  gusto  and  pomp 
Goes  "Shanky"  Shanahan  in  his  awkward  romp. 

Here  are  our  hockey  stars,  you  know 
Gregoire,  Walsh,  Hickey  and  Labraico. 
Passing  now  is  our  mission  president 

Ryan,  the  executive  without  any  precedent. 
And  say,  here's  our  friend  Charlie  Fong 
Who's  bringing  fame  to  his  home  Hong  Kong. 

Then  with  tongues  so  glib  and  witty. 
Are  Levick  and  Walker  singing  a  ditty. 

There's  Lundy  whose  chatter  does  beguile 
All  teachers,  and  forces  them  to  smile. 

Why  there's  Byrnes  who  in  parliamentary  session 
Will  try  to  dispense  any  depression. 

McLaughlin  and  Shaughnessy  now  trip  by, 
'Though  strangers  we  hold  them  esteemingly  high. 
Then  comes  "Wee"  Duggan  who's  quite  a  card. 
His  conduct  record  is  never  marred. 

Here  is  Hauseman;  we  call  him  "Hausie" 
You  must  admit  his  jokes  are  terrible! 
Here  too  is  a  fellow  "Windy"  O'Neil, 

Quite  well  known  for  his  spiel. 

Following  him,  absorbed  in  history, 
Is  O'Connor  our  man  of  mystery. 

This  is  Cahill,  and  that  McNamara, 
Together  they  form  a  startling  pair-a. 
There  goes  Yewish,  who  is  a  poet 
Even  though  his  hair  doesn't  show  it. 

Ah!     There  is  our  man!     Our  pride  and  joy; 
Big  Bill  Klersey,  what  a  boy! 

Lastly,  who  passes  but  Mr.  Carter 
Proudly  displaying  his  teacher's  charter. 

He  is  our  friend,  our  class  advisor 
We  can   prove  that  he's  no  miser. 

And  so  we  leave  you  dear,  dear  friend 
We  are  afraid  this  is  the  end. 

FONG  &  YEWISH.

(Section  3) 


In  a  corner  of  the  building 

Is  our  cosy  little  room, 

Nothing  much  to  look  at, 

But  far  from  full  of  gloom. 

All  of  us  are  reg'Iar  fellers, 

As  Mr.  Sheedy  will  admit. 

But  when  someone  gets  an  answer  right 

The  teacher  takes  a  fit. 

We  don't  think  we're  the  brightest 

Of  the   students   in  our   year; 

Though  our  heads  are  of  the  lightest, 

We  make  all  the  teachers  fear. 

Paul  McGovern  is  the  tallest 

That  the  room  has  ever  seen. 

And  Morgan  is  the  smallest 

Of  those  who  always  dream. 

In  the  corners  we  have  experts 

Who  whisper  all  the  day. 

Till  some  teacher  now  and  then  asserts 

That  Crime  will  never  pay. 

From  the  Rich  Man  to  the  Parson 

We  have  men  of  wide  acclaim; 

None  of  us  are  very  brilliant. 

But  Malins  brings  us  fame. 

The  wall  boys  are  the  leaders 

Of  a  gang  that  never  sleeps; 

Cryer  seems  to  suit  his  name 

While  the  Ross  boys  act  like  Jeeps. 

Sullivan  never  comes  on  time 

For  any  of  the  classes — 

Perhaps  he  needs  a  heavier  fine 

Or  a  bigger  pair  of  glasses. 

Balfour  is  always  thinking 

Of  pilots  and  their  planes; 

Stempien  always  tries  to  shout 

That  Heyword  gives  him  pains. 

Stack  and  Strath  give  all  a  smile 

For  the  work  they  were  to  show, 

But  when  teacher  says  to  stay  awhile 

They  always  have  to  go. 

McDonough  always  loves  to  tell 

Of  things  that  are  not  funny; 

Often  he  is  hit  by  chalk. 

Or  forfeits  over  money. 

McCarthy  always  plays  a  lot 

With  balloons  that  look  so  odd. 

That  once  a  teacher  noticed  them — 

Mac  almost  hit  the  sod. 

These  are  just  a  few  remarks 

About  those  who  lead  the  mobs; 

We  aren't  so  good  when  it  comes  to  marks, 

But  we  try  to  do  our  jobs. 

—WALTER  ROSS  and 
JOSEPH  SULLIVAN.

(Section  1) 

"Sail  on,  Sail  on,  Sail  on  and  on" — Columbus. 

It  is  the  year  1940.  Far  out  on  Study  Ocean  lie  a  number  of  black  specks. 
As  we  come  closer,  we  see  that  these  specks  are  large  boats.  Far  to  the  front  of 
this  fleet  of  ships  lies  one  which  appears  to  be  outsailing  all  the  rest.  This  is  the 
good  ship,  X-1. 

This  ship  is,  of  course,  manned  by  its  own  crew,  although  it  has  taken  on 
pilots  in  the  shape  of  teachers  in  order  to  guide  it  around  dangerous  shoals  and 
through  narrow  passages.  Mr.  Fischette  is  its  main  pilot,  being  the  Home-room 
teacher.     Under  his  guidance  the  crew  has  no  fear  of  storms  or  rocky  coasts. 

MEMBERS  OF  THE  CREW 

At  the  helm  of  our  ship,  X-1,  stands  Claude  Flood,  the  President  of  the  class 
and  also  of  the  Mission  Society.  He  is,  therefore,  well  equipped  to  steer  the  ship. 
His  four  mates  are  Bill  O'Leary,  Bill  Young,  Jerry  Stangret  and  Ken  Wilson  who 
lead  the  rest  of  the  members  in  scholastic  standing.  The  chief  steward  is  Gregory 
Clancy  who  comes  next  in  intellectual  achievement.  Our  chief  engineers  are  Don 
Tanner  and  Michael  Kirby  who  have  a  great  knowledge  of  things  mathematical. 
The  latter  is  also  a  first  rate  figure  skater.  Our  stokers  are  Paul  Brady  and  Richard 
Anderson — always  quiet,  but  perhaps  the  best  workers  on  the  ship.  Jack  and  Paul 
Howley,  who  are  brothers,  are  the  lookouts,  having  demonstrated  their  far- 
sightedness on  more  than  one  occasion. 

MINISTERS  OF  ACTIVITIES 

Don  Goudy  was  chosen  athletic  instructor  of  the  ship  because  of  his  technical 
knowledge  of  jiu-jitsu.  Frank  Redican,  genius  of  amusement,  supplies  most  of  the 
comedy,  ably  assisted  by  the  suave  Douglas  Atkinson,  tiny  Anthony  Scolaro  and 
nonchalant  Bob  O'Boyle. 

On  board  ship  are  many  members  of  the  newly  organized  St.  Michael's  Band. 
Some  of  these  versatile  associates  are  James  Crowley,  James  Kinney  and  Joe 
DeGrandis  who  play  the  cornet;  Archie  Parker,  the  astronomer,  who  amuses  himself 
with  the  French  horn;  Wallace  Mildon  and  Pat  Nichols  who  play  altos.  Various 
other  instruments  are  in  the  capable  hands  of  Pat  Partland,  Jerry  Stangret,  Bill 
Young  and  Bill  O'Leary. 

FAMOUS  PASSENGERS 

Unlike  Columbus,  the  good  ship,  X-1,  has  some  famous  passengers  aboard, 
being  distinguished  in  many  fields  of  endeavour.  Among  these  is  Anthony 
(Senator  Blake)  Amodeo  who  performed  brilliantly  in  "Room  Service."  Then 
there  are  some  members  of  the  champion  house-league  rugby  teams,  namely, 
Joe  Marzalik,  Bill  Conway,  John  Wilson,  Jerry  O'Gorman  and  the  debonair 
Bernard  Roach.  We  have  on  board  also  two  outstanding  scorers  in  the  junior 
rugby  league  and  these  are  the  diminutive  Frank  Vaclavek  and  the  more  diminutive 
Denis  McBride.  And  now,  we  come  to  the  authority  of  sportdom,  the  fierce 
champion  of  the  tame  Detroit  Red  Wings — our  own  Jim  Enright. 

Finally,  among  our  passengers,  there  is  a  group  about  whom  we  would  like  to 
make  a  prophecy.  Looking  into  the  future,  we  see  Jim  Bowie  bashfully  addressing 
a  group  of  leading  chemists;  Jack  Harper  stubbornly  insisting  that  his  company 
sells  nothing  but  the  best;  Jack  O'Connor  a  famous  physician;  Jack  Butler  arguing 
with  one  of  his  clerks  on  his  lack  of  precision;  Jim  Bennett  a  noted  lawyer;  Bob 
Hawkins  an  efficiency  expert;  Basil  Hastings  a  hard  working  ecclesiastic;  and 
Claude  Phelan  arriving  late  at  his  office.

Grade   X 

(Section  2) 

In  a  bright  room  on  the  third  floor  is  situated  X-2,  one  of  the  finest  classes  in 
the  school.  The  room  itself  is  very  simple,  and  the  only  thing  that  stands  out  is 
the  shrine  to  Our  Lady  of  Perpetual  Help.  It  is  only  correct  to  say  that  the  mem- 
bers of  this  notable  class  are  a  group  of  grand  fellows;  thence  our  theme  song, 
"One  for  all  and  all  for  one." 

Avoiding  any  further  particulars,  permit  me  to  introduce  you  to  a  few  of  the 
gang.  Such  young  gentlemen  as  Ray  Midghall,  John  Bennett  and  John  Egsgard 
are  the  sources  of  knowledge  and  light  of  the  class  proper.  But  even  they  do  not 
dim  the  learning  that  comes  from  the  silent  and  studious  figure  of  Joseph  Nail. 
Although  Frank  Healy  and  Basil  Gregoire  ("Squirt")  are  not  in  this  class  they 
nevertheless  add  very  much  to  it. 

X-2  has  produced  many  outstanding  athletes.  Our  gridiron  stars  were  Jerry 
Hickey,  Jerry  Orsini  and  Murray  Sullivan.  "Sur  la  glace"  there  are  such  lights  as 
Jim  Sweeney,  Maurice  Sadler,  Hugh  Morris,  and  with  them  almost  everybody  else 
in  the  class.  Handball  has  our  representative  in  Stanley  Matus,  while  fine  tennis 
indicates  Hugh  Piatt  who  wields  the  racket  most  dexterously.  With  summer  on 
the  not  far  distant  horizon,  "Scarlet"  Sullivan  is  preparing  to  go  behind  the  plate 
and  catch  some  of  Joe  Solarski's  fast  balls. 

Patrick  Monahan,  wit  of  X-2,  keeps  the  class  perpetually  in  roars  of  laughter — 
sometimes  irking  the  teacher,  sometimes  not.  Jim  Wrightman  also  adds  a  little  pep 
to  the  not  over-serene  atmosphere  of  the  class.  Fred  Cockburn  is  the  image  of  a 
politician.  His  nervous  habit  of  rubbing  his  hands  together  rather  accents  this. 
You  almost  expect  to  see  him  present  you  with  a  cigar,  clap  you  on  the  back  and 
say  "Nice  weather — Eh,  old  chap?"  Bill  Kidd,  an  emigrant  from  Montreal,  rivals 
John  Smith  in  his  fluency  with  the  French  language. 

The  band  has  received  from  our  group  such  notables  as  Mike  McGrath,  Ken 
Nealon,  Alan  Tierney,  with  many  others.  They  are  some  of  its  master  minds  and 
master  blowers.  Each  of  the  confusing  Hall  twins  claims  that  he  did  the  right 
work,  while  his  brother  did  the  wrong  part;  neither  will  "take  the  rap"  for  that 
which  is  left  undone.  John  Grube,  a  whiz  at  wisecracks,  is  ably  assisted  by  Albert 
Viola  and  George  Parker.  Jim  McCool  and  Dermott  CuUen  play  at  the  noble  art 
of  aeronautics.  It  is  even  rumoured  that  they  have  invented  a  plane  that  flies  in 
reverse. 

Frank  "Mac"  McLaughlin  is  forever  being  called  from  his  nap.  His  long  and 
capable  arm  reaches  out  and  unlocks  the  door  while  his  outstretched  foot  gives  it 
a  gentle  push.  And  that  is  some  feat!  His  bosom  companion  "Bubs"  Harding, 
being  president  of  the  English  club,  is  forced  to  stay  awake  at  the  Wednesday  meet- 
ing. Orlando  Morales,  all  the  way  from  Colombia,  South  America,  is  mastering 
"this  strange  English."  Finally,  Alan  Levey,  the  cheery,  rotund  bell-ringer,  joins 
us  in  saying — "Au  revoir."

(Section  3) 


X-3  lurks  across  the  hall  from  Father  McCorkell's  office.  Whenever  Father 
McCorkell  is  baffled  by  presidential  problems,  he  calls  in  X-3's  class  president,  Bruce 
McDougall,  for  a  conference.  Bruce  draws  well  and  occasionally  edits  a  radical 
newspaper,  the  Blab  and  Trash.  X-3  has  the  peculiar  distinction  of  having  a  per- 
sonality for  every  corner.  Walsh  of  the  mighty  bat,  Walsh  whose  bullet  passes 
won  the  Senior  House  League  football  series,  occupies  one  rear  corner.  Opposite 
him  sits  Gallagher,  a  man  of  brawn,  who  slumbers  like  a  mighty  mountain,  his 
power  in  leash. 

Black,  the  sceptic,  and  keeper  of  the  chalk,  fills  a  seat  in  the  front.  It  is  well 
known  that  he  solved  the  problem  of  Santa  Claus  at  the  age  of  five.  In  the  remiain- 
ing  corner  sits  Nichols.  Stan  is  a  youth  of  wide  experience,  always  willing  to  aid 
the  teachers  by  his  personal  reminiscences.  Corrigan,  lover  of  poetry  and  romance, 
always  retains  a  calm  attitude  in  the  face  of  questions.  He  is  one  of  Father  Riley's 
most  promising  students. 

Then  there  is  Mayhue,  man  of  mystery,  especially  in  the  mornings.  He  backs 
"Fine  Cut"  to  the  hilt.  Bob  Ives,  our  theorem  demon,  claims  that  one  does  not 
know  everyone  else  in  St.  Catherine's  and  that  it  is  the  best  lacrosse  town  in  the 
country.  Frank  Milligan  contests  this  bitterly.  He  goes  to  the  mat  for  Orillia 
Terriers.  Downing  is  our  silent  man  who  releases  inhibitions  via  the  School  band. 
He  wielded  a  handsome  hammer  with  the  stage  crew  of  "Room  Service." 

Ellis  is  another  musician,  with  a  penchant  for  raising  difficult  problems  in 
class.  Once  many  years  ago  he  denied  that  a  triangle  has  three  sides.  Jim 
Blastorah  is  one  of  our  best  athletes,  his  track  ability  having  won  for  him  several 
weeks  of  training  at  the  Ontario  Athletic  Commission  Camp.  He  is  X-3's  swing 
pianist.  Handsome  Jack  Enright,  whose  curly  hair  is  envied  by  the  rest  of  the 
class,  is  a  man  of  many  troubles.     He  loves  to  shift  about  the  room. 

One  of  our  wits  is  William  "Ace"  O'Brien.  He  is  particularly  excellent  in  the 
French  period.  Barry  Sullivan  is  quiet  and  usually  has  his  work  done.  His  play- 
ing on  the  midget  team  promises  him  a  future  berth  as  goalie  on  the  Buzzers  in  a 
few  years. 

Hannivan,  another  silent  young  man,  is  famous  for  his  blush.  But  it  does 
not  prevent  his  being  one  of  the  leading  students  in  the  class.  Nick  Cowan,  a  good 
student,  and  a  fine  artist,  helped  publicize  the  school's  production  of  "Room 
Service."     At  present  he  is  our  representative  on  the  Mission  Society. 

Kidd  is  our  brain.  He  is  the  only  one  who  really  understands  Father  Diemer's 
French  jokes,  and  always  laughs  at  the  right  moment.  Walker  is  another  dynamic 
individual,  who  sees  that  X-3  does  its  share  towards  helping  the  School  missionary 
society.  Jim  Coburn  claims  that  Agincourt  hockey  is  far  tougher  than  the  brand 
played  in  Toronto,  and  that  anyone  wearing  pads  where  he  comes  from  would  be 
labelled  a  sissy.     To  prove  this  he  opens  the  windows  at  least  three  times  a  period. 

And  the  last  two  are  Adam  and  O'Hearne.  We  mention  them  last  because 
they  are  our  leading  contenders  for  the  late  comer's  crown.  Adam,  a  man  of 
infinite  variety  of  excuse  when  called  on  for  homework,  denies  vigorously  that  his 
father  helps  him  with  geometry.  O'Hearne  is  one  of  our  fighting  Irish.  He  was 
one  of  the  best  tacklers  in  the  Senior  House  League  last  fall,  and  is  one  of  our  pros- 
pects for  future  high  school  teams. 

X-3  is  a  small  class,  but  we  feel  sure  that  it's  contributed  a  good  share  to  the 
life  of  the  high  school  during  the  past  year.

(Section  1) 

'Twas  a  meek  crowd  of  boys  who  trudged  their  way  up  to  the  third  floor  last 
September.  However,  it  wasn't  long  before  they  made  themselves  at  home  and 
lost  somewhat  of  their  meekness.  To  this  Father  O'Leary  will  readily  attest. 
Without  seeming  to  boast,  we  of  IX- 1  are  a  pretty  fine  crowd  of  lads.  If  you  don't 
believe  me  ask  Father  Diemer,  our  Home-Room  teacher.  Before  you  ask  him,  I 
make  this  one  request:  Please  ask  him  when  he  is  in  good  humor. 

For  us  high  school  was  new.  That  we  have  survived  the  warming  up  exercises 
bids  fair  to  successful  years  in  the  future.  We  come  from  various  parishes,  but 
thanks  to  Father  Riley,  we  were  welded  together  into  an  homogeneous  whole.  IX-1 
is  our  class  and  we  are  behind  it  to  a  man.  We  are  not  narrow  nor  clannish. 
There  are  activities  that  bring  us  in  contact  with  the  whole  school  and  these  serve 
to  broaden  our  views,  making  us  realize  that  we  are  just  a  cog  in  that  great  wheel 
which  is  St.  Michael's  College  School.  Humbly  do  we  confess,  however,  that  we 
are  a  very  important  cog. 

Oh  yes!  it  was  to  have  our  thirst  for  knowledge  slaked  that  brought  us  here. 
Indeed,  many  there  are  in  our  midst  who  have  drunk  deep  of  the  crystal  waters. 
Robert  Macdonald  seems  to  have  a  firm  grip  on  the  top  rung  of  the  ladder.  He 
needs  must  be  wary,  for  Bernard  Wilson  is  crowding  him  closely.  Neither  one 
better  loosen  his  grip  for  Frank  Haller,  Ted  Manning,  William  O'Grady  and  Pat 
Reynolds  may  yet  unhorse  them.     Mr.  Timmons  says  they  are  all  comers. 

What!  are  there  no  athletes  among  the  crowd?  Sit  tight  and  get  a  load  of  this. 
Mai  Fryer,  Gerard  Hector,  Jack  EUard,  Harry  Tryhorn,  Billie  Rogers  and  Jack 
MacKenzie  were  members  of  the  famous  Argos.  In  hockey  we  have  material  that 
Conny  Smythe  can  well  afford  to  take  a  gander  at — Joe  Lehman,  Jack  Lingeman, 
Pat  Powers,  Frank  O'Grady  and  Doug  McGillivray  are  bulwarks  on  defence.  Tom 
McConvey  "rests"  in  class  so  that  he  can  have  lots  of  energy  on  the  ice.  The 
referees  have  him  spotted  as  the  "bad  man"  of  hockey.  Among  the  smaller  boys 
who  are  hockey  stars,  there  are  Ray  Nealon,  Frank  Downs,  Joe  Kelly,  John  Shelton, 
Clare  Sullivan  and  that  superb  net-minder,  John  Morrison.  They  tell  me  that 
Tom  Tuck,  our  class  president,  is  a  great  baseball  player.  Others,  whom  we 
expect  to  star  on  the  sandlots  are  John  Robinson,  Paul  Breen,  Bob  Williams,  and 
Philip  White.     Phil  should  be  a  second  "Gabby"  Hartnett. 

IX-1  has  its  Al  Smith,  but  he  doesn't  wear  a  brown  derby.  Tom  Purvis  will, 
if  the  war  lasts  long  enough,  add  his  constructive  genius  to  the  R.C.A.F.  Already 
he  knows  all  about  airplanes.  John  Clune,  our  only  red  haired  youth,  adds  color 
to  the  class  in  more  ways  than  one.  We  all  want  to  know  why  Jack  Gibson  has  so 
many  books  to  carry  home.  I  wonder  if  they  are  all  his?  Frank  Johnson  can  ride 
a  horse  and,  as  well,  is  gradually  mastering  the  art  of  self  defence.  Batavia,  N.Y.  has 
given  Mr.  Doris  his  star  pupil,  Howard  Sweet.  They  say  he  intends  being  a  stage 
producer.     Already  he  has  signed  Daniel  McCarthy  as  his  leading  man. 

Macdonald  is  our  quota  in  the  band.  The  Mission  Society  has  our 
representatives  John  Ryan  is  the  fee  collector  and  John  Robson  can  track  down 
stamps  or  Catholic  literature  like  a  G-man.  Alvin  Hutchinson,  our  Peterborough 
import,  is  Mr.  Crowley's  best  exponent  of  oratorical  skill  when  he  makes  mission 
appeals  to  the  class. 

We  have  no  dull  moments  due  to  our  infinite  variety.  Many  more  things 
could  be  said  that  would  be  of  interest.  Forgive  me  for  not  having  done  justice  to 
so  noble  a  class.  We  carry  on  with  the  hopes  that  next  year  we  shall  all  return  as 
members  of  second  year. 

I  as  proof-reader,  add  this  note  about  the  author,  Ted  McLean:  he  is  an  all- 
round  boy,  a  good  student  and  a  fine  athlete,  determined  to  carry  on  the  traditions 
of  his  brothers  before  him.  EDWARD  MICHAEL  McLEAN.

"The  days  which  make  us  happy,  make  us  wise".  If  this  is  not  evident  to  you 
from  our  picture,  knock  gently  at  lX-2  some  day  and  see  for  yourself;  our  form- 
teacher,  Mr.  Purcell,  will  give  you  a  welcome  reception.  To  supplement  the  work 
of  the  camera,  we  will  give  you  a  pen-picture  of  our  cast. 

Shortly  after  the  beginning  of  the  year  an  unanimous  vote  elected  Gerald  Dewan 
as  our  class-president  and  Maurice  MacKintosh,  vice-president. 

Nine-two  boasts  of  having  the  tallest  and  the  smallest  boys  in  ninth  grade, 
namely  Robert  Wilson  and  Roy  Drimmie. 

Our  five  cornet  players,  William  Gilkinson,  Roy  Drimmie,  Joseph  McNeil, 
William  Dimma,  Richard  Queneville,  and  our  lone  trombonist  John  Duffy  are, 
according  to  Mr.  Borre,  accomplishing  excellent  results  in  St.  Michael's  Band. 
While  in  the  musical  vein  we  must  mention  James  Scrimes,  our  lone  tenor,  John 
Clancy,  our  harmonica  player,  William  O'Reilly,  our  guitarist,  John  Sullivan  and 
Peter  Beck,  our  famous  pianists. 

We  have  a  great  many  stars,  shining  more  or  less  brightly  on  the  campus. 
Our  hockey  players,  Michael  Brown,  Edward  Glynn,  Murry  Gibbs,  William 
Gilkinson,  Maurice  MacKintosh,  Bruce  Gallagher,  Patrick  Ledger  and  our  ever 
reliant  defenseman  Fred  Levick  are  the  most  prominent.  Our  summer  sport, 
baseball,  is  one  of  the  most  fascinating  games  enjoyed  and  played  by  Martin  O'Leary, 
Allan  Pollock,  Edward  Willows,  John  Sullivan,  William  Dimma,  Joseph  McNeil 
and  Peter  Beck.  William  O'Reilly  and  Blain  Covert  are  our  two  skiers  and  also 
lovers  of  ice  and  snow. 

The  Boy  Scouts  were  organized  by  our  able  patrol  leader  Howard  Cash  with 
John  Frezell  second  in  patrol;  both  are  hard-working  and  independent  boys. 
Michael  Ritchie,  Roy  Mitchell,  Richard  Queneville  and  Sam  O'Hara  are  just  a 
few  of  the  world's  Boy  Scouts.  These  boys  are  taught  to  be  helpful  and  kind  in 
many  ways  which  this  world  needs. 

Hobbies,  which  are  so  numerous  that  1  can  mention  only  a  fe^v,  are  among 
our  most  interesting  pastimes.  Aeroplane  building  is  one  of  our  most  popular 
hobbies.  Some  of  the  boys  who  construct  them  are  Robert  Burns,  Bernard 
Blagdon  and  Roy  Morris.  These  boys  have  built  many  aeroplanes  in  their  idle 
moments.  Seager,  a  quiet  fellow,  has  his  most  fascinating  hobby  of  fretwork.  Last 
of  all,  coin-collecting,  done  by  intelligent  Gordon  Stinson,  is  a  hobby  requiring 
much   research. 

This  is  only  a  short  history  of  our  class;  now  it  must  end.

Grade   IX 

{Section  3) 

On  September  6,  1939,  Father  Sheridan  received  us  into  IX-3,  our  appointed 
class  room.  Here  for  several  terms  we  have  been  sipping  from  the  cup  of  know- 
ledge, a  cup  carefully  kept  full  by  Father  Sheridan,  Father  Riley,  Mr.  Timmins,  Mr. 
Purcell,  and  several  others.  As  we  had  anticipated,  the  first  days  of  school  were 
new  and  strange;  but  when  we  looked  around  and  discovered  each  other,  many 
new  friends  were  found.  Realizing  the  importance  of  discipline  and  devotion, 
we  adopted  as  our  class  motto,  "Work  well,  pray  well,  and  play  well."  We  have 
followed  this  rather  successfully,  even  though  at  times  we  mix  it  up,  and  play  well 
when  we  should  be  working.     The  result  is  a  little  noise. 

We  lost  no  time  in  electing  our  class  officers.  For  president  we  chose  tall, 
smiling  Ted  McLaughlin;  for  vice-president,  Gerald  Murphy;  and  for  councillors, 
Joseph  Voyde,  Thomas  Newberry  and  John  Sauve.  September  20  was  a  day  long  to 
be  remembered — we  were  received  into  the  Junior  Sodality  of  the  Blessed  Virgin, 
and  into  the  Knights  of  the  Blessed  Sacrament.  The  fall  also  brought  IX-3  to  the 
gridiron.  Tom  Newberry,  Pete  D'Agostino,  Paul  Kane,  Ted  McLaughlin  and  the 
whole  team  played  fine  football.  We  are  just  as  well  represented  in  hockey  and 
other  sports. 

A  word  about  a  few  class  members  would  be  in  order.  To  the  admiration  of 
all,  Polish  Stan  Zeglen  led  the  class  in  the  First  Quarter  exams  with  an  average  of 
92.  Stan,  as  well  as  being  one  of  the  smallest  and  smartest  among  us,  is  well  liked 
by  all  his  classmates.  Others  also  are  gifted  intellectually:  such  boys  are  Frank 
Aprile,  a  star  in  R.K.;  quiet,  unassuming  Joseph  Voyde  from  Newfoundland;  John 
Cartright  from  St.  Francis'  Parish  in  Toronto;  and  many  others.  Paul  Kane,  from 
St.  Anthony's  Parish  is  an  industrious  boy  at  home  and  abroad,  a  fine  fellow  and  a 
fine  hockey  player.  Louie  Bardwell  is  a  humourist  in  class  and  a  "swinette"  player 
in  the  High  School  Band.  He  has  a  friend  in  little  Michael  George.  It's  a  point 
of  doubt  whether  Mikey  can  beat  up  Louie  or  not.  A  pal  of  them  both  is  John 
Hartt.     Reginald  Power  is  a  tall,  pleasant  fellow  from  North  Toronto. 

We  have  many  others,  but  their  qualities  are  too  many  to  write  down.  It  is  our 
sincere  hope  that  we  shall  all  be  together  at  St.  Michael's  in  years  to  come,  and  that 
we  shall  not  forget  each  other,  even  after  school  days.

The  Commercial  class  of  St.  Michael's  is  not  a  large  class.  It  is,  in  fact  very 
small,  the  smallest  in  the  school.  But  the  lack  of  numbers  is  more  than  com- 
pensated by  the  abundance  of  variety  presented  by  its  members.  It  is  not  sufficient 
to  say  that  no  two  of  them  are  alike.  It  is  nearer  to  the  truth  to  say  that  no  one  of 
them  is  the  same  at  any  two  points  of  time.  In  Commercial,  the  individual  is 
really   that. 

And  now  would  you  like  to  meet  the  members?  Fine!  We  will  take  them 
alphabetically  and  the  first  man  we  meet  is  Bourke.  His  aspirations  in  baseball  are 
proving  no  incentive  for  commercial  work.  He  probably  intends  to  hire  a  business 
manager.  Edick,  the  tall  boy  with  the  pleasant  smile,  is  next.  One  day  of  school 
goes  a  long  way  with  him.  Flanagan,  five-foot  five  of  sunshine  and  wise-cracks; 
just  a  breath  of  the  "ould  sod,  begorra";  Gagnon,  far  from  his  native  Montreal,  com- 
bines the  pugnacity  of  the  heavyweight  with  the  bulk  of  the  flyweight.  Hitting  the 
wrong  key  is  the  only  thing  that  can  stir  the  composure  of  Gibson.  Lachance  on 
the  other  hand,  is  seldom  if  ever  composed.  All  movable  parts  are  generally 
moving.  McLean  is  the  one  man  in  the  world  who  can  rival  Thurston's  disappear- 
ing act.     "Here  today,  so  why  come  tomorrow"  is  his  theme  song. 

A  tall  stranger  with  wavy  hair,  McDonald  had  no  trouble  in  becoming  one 
of  the  bunch.  He  saw  an  open  door,  walked  in  and  belonged.  Myrand,  blonde 
and  French,  has  all  the  love  of  his  countrymen,  song,  and  especially  the  dance. 
Dempster  who  attended  E.Y.C.I.  until  last  January  has  the  reputation  of  a  "skipper"; 
that's  what  they  say.  Peters,  silent  and  inscrutable,  remains  sphinx-like  even 
when  beset  by  questions.  And  with  Egli  the  vanguard  has  arrived.  Debonair, 
imaginative,  always  a  gentleman,  none  more  capable  than  this  roving  soul  to  con- 
clude this  illustrious  company. 

There  are  a  lot  of  things  to  learn  in  Commercial  and  all  necessary  to  the  fellow 
who  hopes  to  make  his  living  in  the  business  world.  The  wail  of  high  school 
student:  "What  good  is  this  subject  to  me?"  has  no  place  here.  Bookkeeping,  short- 
hand, typing,  arithmetic,  law,  are  all  necessary  and  all  will  be  used.  No  time  is 
wasted  on  theory,  hard  practical  facts  are  the  issue  at  all  times. 

Nor  do  the  studies  take  up  all  the  time  in  Commercial.  No  class  has  given 
more  members  to  the  teams  battling  for  St.  Michael's  on  ice  or  turf.  Look  them  over 
and  you  will  find  a  large  percentage  of  the  doughtiest  warriors  have  claimed 
Commercial  as  their  home  room. 

And  now  to  conclude.  To  those  with  whom  we  have  shared  much  of  our 
waking  time  during  the  past  year  we  extend  sincere  hopes  for  a  good  and  prosperous 
future.  To  those  who  will  follow  us  into  Commercial,  an  exhortation  to  get  all  they 
can  out  of  the  course  during  their  stay  there.  It  will  require  an  effort,  but  everything 
worth  while  does.

The  Senior  Sodality  of  The  Blessed  Virgin  Mary 

In  the  soft  lambent  glow  of  fluctuating  candles,  the  ranks  of  the  Knights  of 
Mary  were  amplified  by  the  reception  of  gallant  young  men,  pledging  the  spiritual 
loyalty  and  chivalry  of  their  forefathers,  undertaking  to  cherish  and  guard  the 
emblem  entrusted  to  them,  and  to  wear  forever  the  colours  of  Our  Lady  across  their 
splendent  armour;  over  their  unbeguiled,  untarnished  souls. 

The  sermon  that  was  preached  by  Father  V.  I.  Mclntyre  disclosed  the  society's 
origin;  namely,  at  Rome.  Permission  was  granted  to  Saint  Michael's  College  to 
accredit  new  members,  both  from  the  Arts  and  High  School  branches.  It  has  long 
since  been  traditional,  in  that  evidence  had  been  displayed  by  past  graduates  who 
had  nurtured  a  tender  filial  devotion  to  the  Virgin  Mary. 

The  trend  of  the  Sodality  is  to  aspire  to  a  higher  atmosphere  of  spiritual  guidance 
and  to  enshrine  a  reverent  veneration  for  Our  Blessed  Lady  by  submitting  to  be 
her  servants,  her  supplicants,  her  children.  The  postulant's  allegiance  is,  in  the 
words  of  Saint  Francis  de  Sales,  begging  the  Mother  of  God  to  receive  them  into 
the  voluminous  folds  of  her  intercession,  beseeching  her  succour,  and  promising 
never  to  offend  her  Divine  Son  by  malicious  thought,  word  or  deed. 

With  such  inborn  characteristics  on  their  shields  and  breast-plates,  these 
youths  will  face  the  world  with  all  its  havoc,  disillusions  and  false  principles.  May 
they  remember  to  say:  'Think  of  mie  My  Dearest  Mother  and  desert  me  not  at  the 
hour  of  my  death."  E.  SHUBA.

The  Junior  Sodality  of  The  Blessed  Virgin  Mary 

Be  there  one  institution  in  St.  Michael's  College  School  that  is  revered  above 
all  others,  it  is  the  Sodality  of  The  Blessed  Virgin.  While  all  other  confraternities 
have  as  their  chief  end  a  single  pious  devotion  or  exercise,  a  single  work  of  love  of 
God  or  of  one's  neighbour,  the  peculiar  aim  of  the  Sodality  of  the  Blessed  Virgin 
Mary  is,  by  means  of  the  true  veneration  of  the  Blessed  Virgin,  to  build  up  and  renew 
the  whole  inner  man  in  order  to  render  him  capable  of  and  zealous  for  all  works  of 
spiritual  love  and  charity.  The  entire  tendency  of  this  society  serves  to  make  the 
members  noble,  moral  human  beings,  who,  with  the  aid  of  the  Blessed  Virgin,  lead 
others  to  Christ. 

Holy  Mother  Church  expects  us,  as  members  of  the  Sodality,  to  be  exemplary 
Catholics,  by  cultivating  in  us  that  fervour  of  the  interior  life  that  will  overflow 
of  its  own  vigour  and  zeal  in  exterior  good  works.  In  our  weekly  instructions  we 
are  taught  to  overcome  the  inertia  and  apathy  which  are  only  too  common  in 
regard  to  the  supernatural,  and  to  think  much  of  others  and  little  of  our  own  selfish 
interests;  in  a  word,  to  conquer  the  most  stubborn  obstacles  that  withstand  the 
influence  of  Christian  love  and  the  Catholic  spirit.        GREGORY  CLANCY.

FATHER  WATLEY 


THE  ANNUAL  RETREAT 

Shortly  after  school  began,  we  had  our  annual  Retreat,  terminating  on  the 
Feast  of  Saint  Michael.  Our  Retreat  Master  this  year  was  the  Rev.  M.  J.  Watley 
of  Syracuse,  New  York.  Father  Watley  is  a  very  well  known  speaker  throughout 
New  York  due  to  his  weekly  radio  sermons  on  the  Syracuse  Catholic  Hour.  He 
has  also  directed  radio  plays,  the  most  successful  one  being  last  year's  perform- 
ance of  the  Passion  Play.  Father  Watley's  activities  extend  over  a  rather  wide 
field,  since  he  is  also  Director  of  the  Propagation  of  the  Faith  for  the  Syracuse 
Diocese  as    well  as  head  of  the  Catholic  Students'  Mission  Crusade. 

From  the  very  beginning  of  our  Retreat,  we  were  struck  by  Father  Watley's 
forceful  sincerity.  From  then  on,  he  had  our  complete  attention.  We  can  almost 
hear  his  very  words:  "A  Retreat  is  not  something  cowardly.  Rather,  it  takes 
courage  to  retreat  from  sin  and  temptations  to  sin."  In  his  conferences,  he 
stressed,  by  means  of  interesting  examples,  the  manliness  of  receiving  the 
sacraments,  praying  for  guidance  in  the  all-important  matter  of  choosing  our 
vocation  in  life,  the  avoidance  of  occasions  to  sin,  and  especially  the  cultivation 
of  the  virtue  of  holy  purity  by  having  an  ever  increasing  devotion  to  our 
Blessed  Lady. 

Father  Watley  did  his  work  well;  for  he  has  left  us  with  a  lasting  determination 
to  do  our  work  well  too.  His  influence  among  us  will  be  felt  for  a  long  time  to 
come — the  influence  of  a  holy  priest  of  God.  We  thank  him  most  sincerely.  May 
God  bless  him!

The   Mission   Society 


The  Mission  Society  is  an  important  part  of  the  SodaHty  of  the  Blessed  Virgin. 
The  purpose  of  the  Society  is  to  interest  the  students  in  the  missions  and  their  needs. 
If  we  are  mission-minded  today,  we  shall  be  mission-minded  tomorrow,  ever- 
ready  to  answer  the  pleas  of  the  missionaries. 

The  most  important  duty  of  the  Society  is  to  foster  prayer  for  the  missions.  To 
this  end  is  devoted  the  daily  Holy  Hour.  The  Society  also  helps  the  missions 
materially.  Each  class  devises  methods  of  getting  money,  Catholic  magazines  and 
religious  articles.  These  things  go  for  the  most  part  to  the  Western  and  Texas 
missions. 

In  the  Canadian  West  many  have  lost  the  Faith  because  of  the  lack  of  churches 
and  the  privations  of  poverty.  These  people  have  drifted  into  indifference  and 
into  the  prosperity-promising  "isms".  The  missionaries  need  help  to  bring  the 
faith  to  these  unfortunates.  In  Southern  Texas  the  Basilian  fathers  labour  among 
the  Mexican  refugees  who  have  been  driven  from  their  homes  by  religious  perse- 
cution. These  people  who  have  been  without  priests  and  churches  for  many  years 
are  at  last  receiving  the  sacraments.  We  hope  to  help  them  with  prayers  and  alms, 
not  only  because  of  their  great  need,  but  also  because  they  are  so  little  known  and 
receive  so  little  help.

The  Public  Speaking  Club 

In  the  usual  speech  situations,  at  home,  at  school  and  among  friends,  boys  gen- 
erally say  clearly,  and  emphatically,  if  not  correctly,  what  they  wish  to  say;  nor 
do  they  experience  noticeable  embarrassment  in  the  process.  However,  when  they 
are  faced  with  the  formality  of  "making  a  speech"  in  public,  they  find  themselves 
in  a  strange  new  world.  A  fish-out-of-water  feeling  takes  possession  of  them,  and 
words  that  commonly  flow  trippingly  come  stammeringly.  What  is  to  be  done 
about  this  new  world?  Stay  in  it.  We  learn  to  speak  in  public  by  speaking  in  public. 
Hence  the  reason  for  a  public  speaking  club. 

Ease  in  speech  is  helpful  both  in  school  and  in  life.  The  captain  of  the  hockey 
team  will  make  use  of  his  knowledge  when  he  is  talking  at  the  pep  rally  before  the 
big  game.  The  president  of  the  mission  society  will  find  new  confidence  and 
poise  in  making  his  announcements.  The  average  boy  will  astonish  the  admiring 
members  of  his  family  at  the  dinner  table  by  a  more  correct,  more  vivid,  and  more 
interesting  account  of  his  daily  experiences.  In  our  neighbourhood  how  often 
have  we  noted  the  citizen  who  could  stand  before  us  and  talk  coherently!  Indeed 
the  ability  to  speak  well  is  an  asset. 

Surely  a  man  who  has  spent  years  in  a  Catholic  High  School  ought  to  have 
something  to  say.  If  his  powers  of  speech  bring  people  to  listen  when  he  talks 
of  God  and  His  interests,  then  his  public  speaking  activities  will  be  well  worth- 
while.    "Faith  comes  by   hearing."

The    Camera    Club 

Many,  casually  ambling  along  the  main  corridor,  wondered  if  St.  Michael's 
was  having  air  raid  precaution  drills.  It  certainly  looked  like  a  blackout.  Upon 
further  investigation  it  was  learned  that  it  was  only  the  Camera  Club  in  session. 

At  its  inception  last  Fall,  some  twenty  members  turned  up,  but  due  to  academic 
pressure  and  other  reasons,  the  number  has  somewhat  dwindled.  Still,  we  have  a 
very  exclusive  group  of  candid  camera  fans.  You  never  know  when  you  are  safe, 
for  these  picture  fiends  have  snaps  of  St.  Michael's  smartest  set. 

They  say  that  it  is  a  good  thing  for  a  man  to  have  a  hobby.  That  is  why  we 
assemble  every  week  to  exchange  ideas  and  try  to  improve  ourselves  in  the  art  of 
photography.  We  haven't  much  visible  evidence  of  our  work,  but  many  a  flower 
is  born  to  blush  unseen  and  waste  its  fragrance  on  the  desert  air.  This  club  is  still 
in  swaddling  clothes;  our  earnest  hope  is  that  it  will  grow  strong. 

Father  Diemer,  our  faculty  moderator,  generously  consented  to  lend  a  guiding 
hand  to  our  endeavor.  Probably  the  most  versatile  of  our  number,  is  our  president, 
Nick  Kelemen.  He  does  great  things  with  a  camera,  a  shoe  box  and  a  couple 
of  lenses.  Mike  O'Brien,  our  vice-president,  gets  good  pictures,  despite  the  fact 
that  Bill  MacDonald  claims  him  to  be  very  unorthodox  in  his  methods.  Our  secre- 
tary, Charles  Cira,  is  a  specialist  on  getting  shots  of  very  elusive  wild  life.

The   Science   Club 


I 


Last  October,  when  word  went  out  that  a  Science  Club  was  being  organized, 
under  the  direction  of  Father  Ruth,  the  response  was  enthusiastic.  If  the  member- 
ship in  the  club  were  not  of  necessity  limited,  the  number  of  budding  scientists 
pictured  above  would  have  been  raised  to  the  nth  power. 

The  purpose  of  the  Club  is  to  provide  an  opportunity  for  discussion  and  ex- 
periments on  any  scientific  topic  within  or  beyond  the  High  School  course.  "The 
nature  of  polarised  light  and  practical  applications  of  'PoUaroids' ",  by  Allan 
O'Gorman;  "A  practical  demonstration  of  electroplating",  by  Leonard  Casciato; 
"The  physics  of  photography",  by  Frederick  Black;  "The  chemistry  of  photo- 
graphy", by  Frank  Cullen;  "Television",  by  Pat  McDonough;  "The  manufacture 
of  glass",  by  Frank  Quinn;  "Cool  Fire",  by  Hubert  Higgins;  "Coal  tar  products", 
by  Attilio  Bozzato,  were  some  of  the  topics  dealt  with  during  the  year. 

We  wish  to  thank  our  director,  Father  Ruth,  for  his  patient  assistance  on  every 
occasion;  our  secretary,  Frederick  Black  of  XII-1,  for  his  energetic  cooperation;  the 
club  librarian,  Donald  Finley  of  XI- 1,  for  his  work  in  beginning  the  Science  Club 
library;  and  all  the  members  for  their  active  support  and  eager  participation  in  all 
that  concerned  the  Club.  It  is  our  earnest  hope  that  from  this  humble  beginning 
the  Science  Club  of  St.  Michael's  College  School  may  grow  and  flourish  in  the  years 
to  come.

The  Athletic  Directorate 

During  the  Fall  Term  an  Athletic  Directorate  was  formed  with  the  purpose  of 
carrying  out  the  many  tasks  that  are  necessarily  associated  with  High  School 
athletics.  The  most  difRcult  task  which  the  directorate  places  on  the  shoulders  of 
a  student  is  that  of  manager  of  the  Junior  O.H.A.  Team.  Charlie  Downs  was  ap- 
pointed this  year  and  we  are  all  ready  to  say  that  he  carried  out  a  difficult  job  both 
successfully  and  efficiently.  Managing  the  T.H.L.  Teams  is  an  assignment  which 
requires  tact  and  leadership.  Basil  Bell  looked  after  the  Midgets;  Gerald  Orsini 
supervised  the  Minor-Midgets,  and  Anthony  Kelly  travelled  with  the  Bantams. 

The  cheer  leaders,  who  were  so  much  in  evidence  during  the  hectic  playoff 
games  with  U.C.C.,  were  Bill  MacDonald  and  Mel  FuUerton.  With  eighty  per 
cent  of  the  student  body  in  front  of  them,  they  performed  nobly  until  the  rafters 
shook  with  that  old  Double  Blue  war  cry.  Yes,  eighty  per  cent  of  the  student  body 
was  present  for  that  game  because  the  Athletic  Directorate  had  invited  the  best 
"pepper-upper"  in  the  school  to  conduct  the  Pep  Meetings.  When  Fr.  Whelan  was 
finished  he  had  the  whole  school  on  edge  waiting  for  the  game. 

Next  year  our  club  will  be  two  years  old  and  with  the  experience  gained  this 
year  we  hope  to  carry  on  in  an  even  more  successful  manner.

The  Journalism  Club 

With  Vincent  Keating  propped  in  the  Presidential  chair  and  Roy  D'Agostine 
in  the  secretariat,  our  facuhy  adviser,  Mr.  Purcell  cautiously  pilots  us  over  the 
stormy  seas  of  journalism. 

Who?  What?  When?  Where?  Why? — In  his  keen  observation  of  history  in 
the  making,  the  newspaper  reporter  learns  as  no  one  else  can,  what  it  is  all  about. 
If  you  have  not  seen  any  of  our  masterpieces  in  print  as  yet,  it  is  merely  because 
we  have  not  finished  our  apprenticeship.  However  we  have  a  few  entries  in  this 
book  which  you  will  read  with  both  intellectual  and  spiritual  profit. 

"Printer's-ink"  might  appear  to  you  as  a  ridiculous  matter  for  any  school  club 
to  discuss,  but  since  it  plays  such  a  prominent  part  in  the  building  up  of  our  civil- 
ization, we  as  Catholic  men,  are  bound  to  do  our  part  "to  restore  all  things  in 
Christ"  by  upholding  Christian  ideals  in  the  realm  of  journalism.  If  we  are  going 
to  eradicate  indecent  literature  we  must  supply  what  will  take  its  place;  that  is,  we 
must  so  write  that  the  journalism  of  today  will  be  coloured  by  the  teaching  of 
Jesus  Christ.

The  Basic  French  Club 

A  year  ago  last  September,  in  a  little  group  of  St.  Michael's  students,  was  born 
the  first  club  of  the  school.  During  1939,  the  first  and  most  difficult  year  of  its  exis- 
tence, Jacques  Lachapelle  kept  the  Basic  French  Club  upon  its  course.  Under  his 
able  guidance  a  monthly  paper  was  established,  a  talking-picture  machine  purchased, 
and  a  contract  for  ten  full-length  features  signed.  Thus  it  was  that  the  club  navigated 
the  shallows  and  rapids,  and  sailed  calmily  into  the  placid  waters  of  1940. 

It  became  the  lot  of  Desmond  Fitzgerald  to  build  upon  the  foundations  laid  by 
Lachapelle.  The  new  president  carried  out  the  payments  on  the  movie-machine 
under  a  new  system.  In  the  hands  of  Leonard  Casciato,  the  president  placed  the 
control  of  the  talkies;  and  the  entertainments  in  the  auditorium  have  reached  a  per- 
fection equalling  the  efficiency  and  regularity  of  a  modern  theatre. 

The  aim  of  this  club  has  been  the  promotion  of  anything  of  a  French  nature: 
as  French  magazines,  periodicals,  movies,  plays,  and  many  other  entertaining  and 
educational  activites.  As  yet,  it  must  be  admitted,  this  has  not  been  accomplished; 
but  the  leaders  of  the  club  still  have  high  hopes  for  the  future. 

The  club  wishes  to  extend  the  heartiest  thanks  to  Fr.  McCorkell  for  his  liberal 
donations,  to  Fr.  Mclntyre  for  his  kind  assistance,  and  to  Fr.  Girard  for  his  guidance 
throughout  the  infant  years  of  the  club.

A  large  number  of  boys  turned  out  for  dramatics  in  November,  intending  to 
serve  in  the  capacities  of  actors,  stage-crew  and  publicity  men.  The  play  chosen 
for  production  was  "Room  Service",  a  Broadway  hit  of  a  few  seasons  back.  Given 
only  three  weeks  to  prepare,  the  cast  worked  furiously  for  opening  night  in 
December.  The  technical  staff.  Ken  Sullivan,  Howard  Sweet  and  Clare  Downing, 
spent  their  spare  time  in  building  and  painting  a  beautiful  set. 

When  opening  night  arrived,  the  play  was  ready.  It  played  to  packed  houses 
three  nights  running;  and  was  considered  by  all  to  be  an  artistic  success.  Com- 
menting on  the  cast  we  may  accord  special  honors  to  James  Timmons  in  the  lead- 
ing role  of  the  suave  and  debonair  shoe-string  producer,  to  Edward  Hannan  for 
his  expert  portrayal  of  a  poker-faced  director  whose  actions  rocked  the  rafters,  and 
to  Stanley  Hajdasz,  as  the  leather-lunged,  hard-boiled  hotel  auditor. 

Joe  Mogavero  was  a  fine  'Faker'  Englund,  ready  and  able  handy  man.  William 
Sweet  played  the  nervous  hotel  manager  continually  torn  between  the  hotel  inves- 
tigator and  a  sponging  brother-in-law.  Hubert  Coughlin  was  the  green  author  from 
Oswego,  at  the  mercy  of  Miller  and  Binion.

Wallace  Piatt  and  Dan  McCarthy  gave 
splendid  performances  in  the  difficult  feminine 
roles.  John  O'Hara  and  Simon  Hughes  almost 
stole  the  show  in  their  respective  roles  of 
nervous  business  man  and  sleepy  collector. 
Stephen  Hajdasz  was  a  very  good  Russian 
waiter,  and  Anthony  Amodeo  as  the  Senator, 
fairly  oozed  Southern  accent  and  geniality. 
Robert  Lalor  played  the  role  of  the  dignified 
Doctor  Glass,  in  a  very  efficient  manner. 

Edward  Shuba  and  Thomas  Lawlor  were 
very  tough  house-detectives. 

The  lighting  was  capably  handled  by 
Howard  Sweet,  and  the  general  stage  prepa- 
ration by  Kenneth  Sullivan.  Richard  Hurley's 
prompting  was  clear  and  effectively  timed. 
William  Callahan's  publicity  staff  superintend- 
ed the  ticket  sale.  Nick  Cowan,  Michael 
O'Brien  and  Bruce  MacDougall  helped  make 


the   school  conscious  of  the  play 
by  their  skilful  pens  and  brushes. 

At  present  the  club  is  con- 
tinuing its  interest.  Wallace  Piatt 
will  play  the  role  of  Ophelia  in 
the  forthcoming  college  presenta 
tion  of  "Hamlet".  Dan  Mac- 
Carthy  has  the  leading  role  in 
Henri  Gheon's  "Marriage  of  St. 
Francis"  now  being  rehearsed. 
Ed.  Hannon  and  John  O'Hara  are 
working  on  a  scene  from  Julius 
Caesar  to  be  done  in  modern 
dress.  The  rest  of  the  club  have 
parts  in  the  Gheon  play,  and  in 
a  one-act  drama  to  be  produced 
in  March.

Christus    Regnat 


Many  a  gift  has  Jesus  lavished  on  His  Church,  hut  never  a  gift  that  can  compare 
with  the  Sacrament  of  the  Holy  Eucharist.  Other  gifts  were  rich  with  grace,  here 
is  grace  itself;  other  gifts  bore  in  them  the  touch  of  God's  own  loving  hand,  here 
that  hand  is  stretched  out  in  perpetual  benediction  over  the  faithful  children  of  the 
Holy  Catholic  Church.  Other  sacratnents  prepare  us  for  heaven,  but  here,  where 
Jesus  sits  shrouded  in  the  mystery  of  His  sacramental  presence,  here  heaven  seems 
to  have  come  before  its  time. 

Is  it  little  wonder,  then,  that  from  time  immemorial  Christians  of  all  ages 
have  payed  homage  in  various  ways  to  the  God  of  heaven  and  earth  for  the  Gift  of 
gifts,  the  Sacrament  of  His  love? 

In  1834  there  was  born  in  Tours  a  pious  Frenchwoman,  Mademoiselle  Marie- 
Marthe  Tamisier.  When  three  attempts  to  establish  herself  in  the  religious  and 
contemplative  life  had  failed,  she  found  that  her  vocation  was  to  become  "the 
Beggar-Woman  of  the  Blessed  Sacrament."  With  neither  wealth  nor  good  health 
nor  worldly  influence,  without  recognition  during  her  lifetime  for  the  great  work 
she  was  doing,  she  became  the  humble  and  successful  apostle  of  the  Eucharistic 
Congress.  In  less  than  half  a  century  she  had  planted  the  ideas  which  were  to  en- 
circle the  globe  with  abundant  fruits  of  renewed  devotion  and  homage  to  Christ 
our  Lord  in  the  Holy  Eucharist. 

Thus  were  the  seeds  sown,  and  in  June,  1881,  the  first  Eucharistic  Congress 
convened  in  Lille,  France.  Since  that  first  and  comparatively  modest  assembly, 
Eucharistic  Congresses,  each  with  its  own  distinctive  setting,  have  been  convoked  in 
various  cities  of  the  world  in  order  to  do  public  and  universal  homage  to  our  Lord 
in  the  Sacrament  of  His  love. 

In  1938  it  was  my  happy  privilege  to  assist  at  the  Eucharistic  Congress  held  in 
Quebec  City.  In  such  a  service  it  would  be  impossible  to  rank  the  proceedings,  to 
say  that  one  event  was  first  and  another  second,  but,  nevertheless,  just  as  a  poet's 
thought  climaxes  in  one  verse,  so  the  Congress  had  one  devotion  the  most  thrilling 
moment  for  me.  On  the  Plains  of  Abraham,  under  the  starry  canopy  of  midnight, 
a  soul  stirring  drama  was  enacted.  It  consisted  of  three  parts:  Benediction  of  the 
Most  Blessed  Sacrament,  the  Holy  Sacrifice  of  the  Mass,  and  a  renewal  of  baptismal 
vo^vs. 

The  Benediction  of  the  Blessed  Sacrament  is  one  of  the  simplest  rites  of  the 
Church,  yet  in  its  simplicity  it  is  one  of  the  most  beautiful,  natural,  and  soothing 
actions  of  the  Church.  It  is  our  Lord's  solemn  benediction  to  His  people — a  fact 
forcibly  brought  home  to  me  that  night  as  I  and  countless  others  knelt  in  adoration 
on  Battlefield's  Park. 

That  same  night  on  the  Plains  of  Abraham  where  Wolfe  and  Montcalm  made 
history  in  their  great  battle,  so  too  another  event  was  written  in  the  Catholic  annals 
of  Canadian  history.  The  holy  sacrifice  of  the  Mass  was  offered  on  those  historic 
Plains.  The  Mass  is  not  a  mere  form  of  words — it  is  a  great  action,  the  greatest 
action  that  can  be  on  earth.  It  is  the  centre  of  our  holy  religion,  for  without  a 
sacrifice  there  can  be  no  religion.  Here  lies  the  great  proof  of  the  one  true  church 
— in  the  renewal  of  the  sacrifice  of  Christ  on  Calvary's  heights  in  the  sacrifice  of  the 
Mass.  When  that  awful  event  arrived,  that  instant  which  is  the  purpose  and  inter- 
pretation of  every  part  of  the  solemnity,  every  one,  each  with  his  own  feelings,  his 
own  thoughts,  his  own  desires,  thanked  Almighty  God  for  permitting  him  to  witness

this  awe-inspiring  ceremony.  And  as  the  moment  for  the  reception  of  Christ 
the  King  approached,  the  whole  congregation,  impelled  by  man's  strongest  motive, 
love  of  God,  received  their  Eucharistic  Lord  from  the  hands  of  one  of  the  one 
hundred  and  fifty  priests  distributing  Holy  Communion. 

Then  came  the  renewal  of  the  baptismal  vows  to  crown  the  issue  with  a  last 
reward.  The  men,  with  lighted  candles  held  aloft,  flung  defiance  in  Satan's  face 
with  those  very  words  which  give  us  life:  "1  promise  to  renounce  Satan";  and  the 
Plains  of  Abraham,  massively  dotted  with  fire,  witnessed  a  most  powerful  act  of 
faith  offered  to  God  in  humble  adoration. 

Each  one  present  that  night  became  imbibed  with  the  true  spirit  of  the  Con- 
gress. Those  who  had  been  thrilled  by  the  Congress'  devotion,  those  who  had 
experienced  the  feeling  of  deep  joy  spread  by  the  Congress'  piety — all  those,  with 
Christ  reigning  in  their  hearts,  determined  to  spread  the  holy  and  sacred  spirit  of 
the  Congress,  "Christus  Regnat."

Eddie  Shuha 


Eddie  "Smell  de  cocoa"  Shuba  was  born  in  Youngstown,  Ohio,  and  after 
an  elementary  education  there  came  to  St.  Michael's  to  continue  his 
studies.  During  his  sojourn  on  "Clover  Hill",  Eddie  has  won  many 
friends.  An  active  member  of  the  Science  Club,  an  important  execu- 
tive of  the  Sodality  and  Prefect  of  the  Mission  Society,  he  has  found 
time  to  scintilate  on  the  gridiron.  As  a  linesman,  this  chunky  bit  of 
animated  dynamite  was  a  bulwark  on  defence,  and  his  offensive  thrusts 
were  spectacular.  Last  year  he  was  converted  into  a  running  half, 
and  this  year,  as  Captain  of  the  squad,  played  the  best  games  of  his 
career. 


The  McNamara  Brothers, 
George  and  Paul,  have  been 
making  break-aways  for  St. 
Michael's  since  their  Prep- 
School  days.  After  playing 
with  the  Bantams  and  the 
"Buziers",  they  stepped  up  to 
the  Majors  and  played  with 
them  until  last  year.  Now 
they  are  playing  with  Marlboros,  one  of  the  teams 
representing  Toronto  in  the  Junior  "A",  O.H.A.  series. 

On  the  ice  George  is  fast  and  rugged,  and  offensively  or 
defensively  he  ranks  with  any  defenceman  in  Junior 
hockey.  He  is  a  source  of  inspiration  to  his  mates  for  he 
has  the  old  "fight-em"  and  will  to  win. 


Ci.  Mc!^umura 

Paul,  a  fast  skater,  tricky  and  elusive,  is  a  problem 
for  the  opposition  every  time  he  takes  the  ice. 
A  smooth  skater,  a  fast-breaking  forward  with  a 
good  shot,  Paul  has  ever  been  an  offensive  threat. 

Just  as  it  is  difficult  to  think  of  George  without 
Paul  and  vice  versa,  so  too,  is  it  difficult  to  think 
of  St.  Michael's  without  the  McNamara  Brothers. 

Wherever  the  paths  of  life  may  lead  them,  they 
carry  with  them  the  best  wishes  of  their  school. 
No  higher  tribute  can  be  paid  them  than  to  say 
that  they  were  loved  and  admired  by  students 
and   faculty  alike. 


Paul   McNamara 


Competition  for  the  position  of  "goalie"  on  the 
"Buzzers"  this  year  was  keen.  The  coveted  honour 
was  finally  won  by  Joe  Cleary.  He  showed  real 
fight,  coolness  and  aggressiveness  from  his  position 
which,  no  doubt,  influenced  his  team  mates  when 
they  chose  him  as  their  captain.  Joe  played  bril- 
liantly in  the  nets  and  it  was  his  ability  to  keep 
them  out  that  saved  the  day  many  times  for  the 
Irish.  Joe  will  be  back  with  us  next  year  and  we 
hope  that,  with  him  in  goal  to  lead  the  club  with  his 
great  team  spirit,  we  will  see  once  again  the  Prep 
School  Trophy  on  display  at  St.  Michael's.

High  School  Football 


Father  O'Leary  opened  the  door  to  bring  in  the  1939  football  cream,  only  to 
find  that  the  cat  had  skimmed  the  surface  and  skimmed  deeply. 

Graduation  had  taken  Hardy,  Regan  and  Neil  Morrison  out  of  the  backfield; 
the  wing  line  had  lost  Roach,  Langelle,  Laing  and  Claude  Morrison  and  the  pros- 
pects were  further  weakened  when  academiic  conditions  called  Fr.  Mclntyre  from 
coaching  duties.  Forced  again  with  the  prospect  of  building  a  football  outfit  from 
scratch,  Fr.  O'Leary  and  Fr.  Whelan  hit  the  campus  with  a  turnout  of  about 
thirty-five.  From  this  material  they  fashioned  a  squad  of  fast  husky  boys  to  carry 
the  double  blue  banner  into  Hamilton  against  Cathedral  High. 

Facing  a  team  of  heavier  boys  and  spotting  them  the  jump  in  condition,  St. 
Michael's  came  from  behind  in  the  last  five  minutes  to  earn  a  tie  in  the  Tiger  Lair. 
A  third  down  touchdown  pass  from  Shuba  to  Mclsaac  changed  what  looked  like  a 
6 — 1  defeat  into  a  tie.  Shuba  showed  to  advantage  in  the  first  start  of  the  year, 
giving  a  three  star  performance  in  backing  up  the  line,  carrying  the  ball,  and  steady- 
ing the  new  members  in  their  first  big  game. 

A  few  days  later,  in  a  cold  Octolser  drizzle,  the  team  journeyed  to  the  back 
Campus  to  tackle  the  Varsity  Intermediate  team.  Our  line  played  well  against 
the  much  heavier  Varsity  line,  but  the  ends  found  tackling  a  difficult  task  in  the 
mud  and  ooze  and  Varsity  ambled  to  an  11 — 0  victory. 

Undaunted  by  this  set-back  and  fired  with  an  ambition  to  prove  to  their  more 
enthusiastic  critics  that  we  had  a  team  worth  cheering  for,  the  squad  charged  into 
our  own  Freshmen  and  when  the  dust  settled,  had  chalked  up  a  19 — 0  victory. 

The  biggest  game  of  the  year  was  now  on  hand — a  night  game  at  Ulster 
Stadium  against  Runnymede  Collegiate,  defending  Ontario  champions.  The  Irish 
sprinted  to  an  early  lead  when  Desilets  picked  up  a  loose  oval  at  mid-field  and  ran 
it  to  the  five  to  give  Shuba  a  running  start  as  he  went  over  for  five  points.  The 
Red  men  came  back  quickly  in  the  third  quarter  and  ran  in  nine  points  on  the 
battling  collegians.  This  lead  was  sufficient  to  offset  a  last  minute  drive  by  the 
double  blue  and  we  had  to  be  satisfied  with  a  9 — 6  defeat. 

The  next  game  was  scheduled  with  Pickering  College  and  the  following 
Saturday  saw  the  team  rolling  into  Newmarket  intent  on  bringing  home  a  victory. 
But  things  happened  fast  and  furiously  in  this  game.  Pickering  produced  a  kicker 
that  hoofed  the  oval  far  into  our  end  of  the  field.  A  big  Pickering  line  wrecked 
havoc  with  our  plays  around  the  end  and  through  the  centre.  At  half  time  we 
were  on  the  short  end  of  a  6 — 1  score.  Pickering  continued  to  dominate  the  play 
after  half,  and  another  defeat  seemed  to  face  our  team  as  we  battled  on  our  own 
15  yard  line  with  five  minutes  to  go.  Then  it  happened.  Buck  McLean  was 
moved  over  to  the  end  of  the  line — we  moved  down  field  to  Pickering's  35  and 
with  seconds  left,  Shuba  tossed  an  end  zone  pass  which  McLean  snared  for  the 
equalizer.  Shuba's  attempted  convert  hit  the  goal  post  and  we  returned  home  with 
another  tie. 

A  rejuvenated  team  now  moved  into  the  fray  against  Humberside,  and  with 
Pat  McDonough  booting  a  great  game,  we  downed  Humberside  11 — 0.  Our  win- 
ning ways  were  continued  against  Lawrence  Park  Grads  whom  we  defeated  28 — 0. 
Jacob  came  into  his  own  in  this  encounter  and  crossed  the  line  for  three  touch- 
downs. 

Dunham,  taking  a  post  graduate  course,  played  a  heady  game  at  centre.  The 
first  string  line  consisted  of  Klersey,  Poupore,  Desilets,  McGovern,  Yewish,  Hughes 
and  Forester.  The  outside  positions  were  well  watched  by  Buck  McLean,  Terry 
McDonough,  Joe  Cleary  and  Basil  Bell.  Emil  Horvath  and  Vinee  McNamara 
did  the  tackling  at  flying  wing.  Jim  Pandy  directed  play  from  the  quarterback 
position  where  he  was  aided  by  a  backfield  composed  of  Ed  Shuba,  Tom  Jacob, 
Pat  McDonough,  and  George  Dodd.  The  younger  members  of  the  team  who 
relieved  the  regulars  and  who  will  be  heard  from  next  year  were:  Paul  McLean, 
Johnnie  Walsh,  Doug  Ingram,  Jack  McTague,  Joe  Mogavero  and  Roland  Mclsaac.

It  was  \vell  into  October  when  a  call  was  issued  for  Junior  High  School  football 
material.  It  was  not  too  late,  however,  for  some  30  odd  enthusiasts  to  answer. 
Conditioning  began  and  continued  at  a  gruelling  pace.  Messrs.  CuUen  and 
Record  led  their  charges  each  evening  from  3:30  to  5:00,  indifferent  to  the  panting 
and  groaning  as  they  lapped  the  field,  stretched  and  wielded  summer  excess  into 
muscle. 

Then  for  the  actual  play.  Mr.  Record  handled  the  line.  Alex  "Soup" 
Campbell,  Charlie  Reines,  Handrahan,  Harry  Gallagher  and  Orsini  worked  hard 
and  became  stalwarts  in  each  game.  Johnny  Sauve,  Joe  Regan,  and  Pat  Mac- 
Namara  settled  the  Inside  problem.  On  the  Ends,  Gord  Handrahan,  Jack  Enright, 
Ted  McLaughlin  and  Gus  Boyle  looked  formidable.  Richard  Ellis  and  Paul 
Greenhill   later  strengthened  these   positions. 

Mr.  CuUen  found  a  wealth  of  material  from  which  to  mould  smooth  working 
backfield  combinations.  Kevin  Doyle  could  plunge;  Paul  McCallister  and  Handra- 
han could  handle  the  booting;  with  Bernard  Cahill,  Herb  McCarthy,  Jack  Ferguson, 
Bruce  MacDougall  and  Jim  Blastorah  we  were  assured  of  a  fighting  club. 

Upper  Canada  Juniors  were  the  first  opposition.  Despite  plucky  Irish  efforts, 
inexperience  and  the  strong  opponents  accounted  for  defeat.  The  St.  Michael's 
boys  were  kept  on  the  defensive  most  of  the  game.  Tom  O'Neill  did  some  fine 
kicking.  Gerry  Orsini  was  the  back-bone  of  the  defence.  The  backfield  composed 
of  McDougall,  O'Neill,  McCarthy,  Ferguson,  and  Seit:  showed  plenty  of  strength. 
Mulligan  and  O'Boyle  also  sa\v  service. 

The  Double-Blue  were  called  upon  to  face  a  mighty  foe  in  the  second  game. 
The  huge  Northern  Vocationals  dwarfed  them  in  both  size  and  points.  In  spite  of 
the  set-back,  Joe  Regan  and  Gene  Ste.  Marie  worked  well  together  in  storming  the 
tide.  Joe  DeGrandis  used  his  \veight  to  good  advantage.  Harry  Gallagher  played 
an  impressive  game  at  snap.  The  diminutive  but  dynamic  "Merve"  Morgan  did 
some  fine  plunging  while  Jerry  Hicky  played  a  hardy  game  at  Quarter  and  made 
several  snappy  quarter-back  sneaks.  Bob  Gravelle  did  some  hard  running  until 
he  was  injured  and  Boland's  tackling  and  grinning  provided  a  spark  for  the  team. 

Still  not  disheartened,  the  Irish  tackled  the  Upper  Canada  Juniors  again  and 
took  an  early  lead  when  Bob  Gravelle  raced  40  yards  to  score.  The  "Uppers"  then 
opened  a  furious  air  attack,  and  by  a  succession  of  forwards  and  laterals,  tied  up 
the  score.  Orsini,  Boland,  and  Campbell  again  did  fine  defensive  work.  Cahill 
got  off  some  fine  run-backs,  and  the  Double  Blue  came  to  the  opponents'  one  yard 
line  when  a  fumble  put  an  end  to  their  threat.  Gravelle  was  hurt  again,  and 
the  Irish  began  to  tire  under  the  relentless  attack.  Handrahan  held  off  the  oppo- 
sition for  a  time  with  some  fine  kicking  but  in  the  end  bad  fumbles  robbed  the  team 
of  the  one  game  in  which  they  really  did  have  the  edge  on  the  play. 

Enright,  Lundy,  and  Sullivan  played  well  on  the  line.  Kevin  Doyle  and 
Morgan,  the  little  man  with  the  big  voice,  were  threats  in  the  backfield.  Greenhill 
caught  several  nice  passes. 

Thus  the  Juniors  wound  up  their  season  with  some  good  experience  and  some 
fine  prospects  for  next  year.  Mr.  CuUen  and  Mr.  Record  were  proud  of  their 
charges.  The  latter  had  special  praise  for  Orsini,  Boland,  and  Campbell,  while  the 
former  liked  Handrahan's  kicking,  Cahill's  runbacks,  and  the  all  around  work  of 
Bob  Gravelle. 

The  players  summed  up  their  spirit  and  determination  in  that  short,  expressive, 
phrase,  "We'll  be  back,  next  year!"

St.    M  ary  s 

A  fighting  St.  Mary's  team  captured  the  Senior  House  League  six-man  football 
title  this  year.  This  spirit  was  exemplified  by  the  fact  that  the  team,  deep  in  the 
cellar  during  the  early  part  of  the  season,  succeeded  in  winning  a  playoff  berth, 
and  later  in  the  finals,  astounded  everybody,  including  themiselves,  their  coach, 
and  their  manager,  by  whipping  the  strong  Holy  Cross  team. 

■  The  whole  attack  of  the  team  was  centered  around  Captain  Claire  Walsh. 
When  Claire  was  not  throwing  passes  to  Bill  Conway,  Bernard  Roach  and  Paul 
Kane,  he  was  taking  his  turn  running  the  ball.  Bernard  Roach  was  easily  the 
best  plunger  in  the  league,  and  great  things  are  expected  of  him.  Bill  Conway's 
big  hands  and  fleet  feet  converted  many  a  Walsh-Conway  pass  into  a  touchdown. 
Johnny  Wilson  and  Joe  Marzalik  shared  the  signal  calling  duties,  Johnny  taking  over 
when  Joe  got  hurt  in  an  exhibition  game.  Bob  O'Boyle,  Paul  Kane,  Jim  Bowie  and 
Bones  Walsh  stood  out  with  their  deadly  front  line  tackling.  They  likewise  could 
be  depended  upon  to  catch  their  share  of  passes.  The  trio  from  St.  James'  Parish, 
Gibson,  Goudy  and  McGillvary,  along  with  Jack  Howley  could  always  be  depended 
upon  when  they  were  in  the  line-up. 

In  defeating  Notre  Dame  and  Holy  Cross  in  the  play  off  Series,  St.  Mary's 
proved  beyond  doubt  that  they  were  the  class  of  the  league.

Notre   Dame 

Last  year's  championship  team  posted  four  of  its  members  on  the  Notre  Dame 
team  this  season;  two  of  them  were  regulars  and  two  of  them  "comers",  who  very 
definitely  arrived  this  year.  Hub  Teolis  took  over  the  role  of  a  triple  threat  back- 
fielder  this  year,  until  forced  out  by  ill-health  and  Charley  Balfour  whose  ability 
as  a  snap  is  well  known.  The  "comers"  referred  to  were  Hub.  Higgins  on  end, 
whose  tackling  and  reverse  plays  were  spectacular,  and  Mel  Shand,  the  ace  ball 
carrier  on  our  squad.  Frank  Hickey  took  command  of  things  on  the  field,  hand- 
ling the  ball  and  calling  the  plays  from  the  quarter-back  position.  No  one  knows 
his  defensive  ability  any  better  than  his  opponents.  Pat  Powers,  a  newcomer,  lost 
no  time  in  establishing  himself  as  a  charging  tackier  and  line  plunger.  Bill  Walker 
and  Jack  Houseman  looked  after  the  remaining  end  position  in  grand  style.  Late 
in  the  season  the  team  acquired  Joe  Sadler  who  played  great  football  for  us  in  the 
finals.  Billy  Dimma  rounded  out  the  squad  and  gave  a  good  account  of  himself 
when  needed.  Notre  Dame  held  first  place  throughout  the  season  and  lost  out  in 
the  play-offs  in  a  very  close  series  of  three  gamies — a  grand  club  of  players  with  the 
famous  "St.  Michael's  fighting  spirit"  that  revealed  itself  in  every  game.

Holy    Cross 


In  the  Senior  House  League  many  remarkable  events  took  place  in  the  season 
of  '39.  Chief  among  them  was  the  fact  that  during  the  schedule  competition  was 
unusually  keen.  The  lead  changed  from  day  to  day.  Tail-enders  walloped  leaders, 
would  lose  to  the  second  place  team,  and  come  right  back  to  down  the  third  placers, 
and  so  forth. 

The  Holy  Cross  squad  finally  ended  up  in  third  place  when  the  regular 
season  ended.     All  four  teams  were  admitted  to  the  playoffs — all  deserved  it. 

Holy  Cross  beat  Fordham  in  two  straight  games  but  lost  to  Mr.  Sheedy's  St. 
Mary's  team  in  the  league  finals. 

Pete  D'Agostino  and  Ken  Wilson  were  the  two  most  feared  half-backs  in  the 
league.  Pete  was  noted  for  his  great  touchdown  runs,  but  his  famous  tours  back 
and  forth  across  the  field  will  never  be  forgotten. 

Wallace  Mildon  called  all  the  plays  and  played  errorless  football  all  year. 

Wilf  O'Hearn,  Gerry  Coffee,  and  Ernie  Ryan  were  exceptionally  good  at 
hauling  down  opposing  ball  carriers. 

Albert  Viola  and  Pat  Reynolds  saw  to  it  that  no  one  came  through  the  centre 
of  the  Holy  Cross  line. 

Ted  Manning,  Bill  Lee  and  Tom  Kavanagh  deserve  special  mention  for  their 
fine  relief  work.

Fordham 

Fourteen  ambitious  but  inexperienced  youths  answered  Mr.  Bergeron's  call 
for  the  first  practice  of  the  Fordham  team  in  the  Senior  House  League;  ahhough  we 
did  not  win  any  titles,  we  did  have  a  lot  of  fun,  and  here  and  now  let  it  be  said  that 
ours  was  a  "fighting"  team. 

The  backfield  work  of  the  three  John's,  Marois,  Strath  and  Wilson  was  of  a 
high  order  and  from  the  point  of  view  of  defense,  was  unexcelled  in  the  league. 

The  front  line  tackling  of  Bennett,  O'Shea,  Ward  and  O'Hanlon  left  little  to 
be  desired. 

The  Holy  Name  boys.  Hart  and  Tierney  and  the  Holy  Family  lads,  Egsgard 
and  McNeill,  along  with  Jack  Lingeman  put  fear  into  the  hearts  of  their  opponents 
every  time  they  appeared  on  the  field. 

Defensively  the  team  was  a  sight  to  behold.  Here  was  one  team  that  made 
touchdown  avenue  a  rocky  road.  However,  the  lack  of  a  capable  passer  left  the 
club  without  a  scoring  punch.  Little  did  it  avail  us  to  keep  the  other  team's  score 
from  mounting;  we  ourselves  could  not  score. 

With  our  arms  gripping  an  opponent's  legs  and  our  mouths  full  of  sand,  we 
say  good-bye  to  the  football  season  of  1939.

Montreal 


Although  the  Montreal  squad  failed  to  obtain  a  playoff  position  in  the  Junior 
House  League,  it  was  generally  agreed  that  this  band  of  boys  got  more  out  of 
their  first  year  of  football  than  the  more  successful  teams.  Courageous  to  a  man, 
they  never  gave  up  and  they  caused  their  opponents  many  an  anxious  moment. 
Under  their  coach,  Mr.  Pendarvis,  they  learned  a  lot  of  football. 

Most  of  the  ball  carrying  was  done  by  John  Rvan,  Pat  Ledger,  Clare  Sullivan 
and  Phil  White. 

Al  Smith  was  chief  of  the  signal  calling  department  and  was  aided  by  Bill 
Gilkinson   and    Frank   Downs. 

Frank  Johnson  was  undoubtedly  the  fiercest  tackier  in  the  league.  He  was 
ably  assisted  by  John  Frezell  and  Dan  McCarthy. 

Bernard  (Willie)  Wilson  looked  after  the  centre  position  most  capably. 

Looking  at  the  season  as  a  whole  the  Junior  House  League  was  a  decided  suc- 
cess. Over  sixty  of  the  younger  boys  played  in  the  league,  and  all  behaved  like 
real  Catholic  boys.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  in  days  to  come  these  young  players  will 
look  back  with  happy  memories  of  their  football  battles  in  the  yard  at  St.  Michael's. 

Congratulations  are  in  order  to  all  the  players,  officials,  and  coaches  who  helped 
so  much  to  make  the  league  a  success.

Argos 

When  the  regular  schedule  of  the  Junior  House  League  Football  was  completed, 
Hamilton,  Argos,  Ottawa,  and  Montreal  finished  in  that  order.  In  the  playoffs, 
Argos  entered  the  finals  against  Hamilton.  A  brilliant  series  was  predicted; 
excitement  charged  the  air.  In  two  great  games  Argos  won  the  title  1 1  to  0  and  22  to  5. 

Under  the  coaching  of  Messrs.  Collins  and  Crowley,  a  number  of  fine  young 
football  players  was  developed.  Ted  McLean,  one  of  five  famous  brother  athletes, 
was  a  hard  plunging  half  who  came  second  in  the  league  scoring  race  with  67 
points.  Mai  Fryer,  a  converted  end,  was  McLean's  running  mate.  The  two 
formed  the  best  half  line  in  the  loop.  The  duties  of  the  quarter-back  were  well 
handled  by  Gerry  Hector,  who  also  did  some  great  "clutch"  kicking.  At  end, 
Sam  O'Hara  and  John  Clancy  gained  much  ground  for  Argos  by  their  fierce  tackling 
in  the  enemy  backfield.  Paul  Duggan  and  Bill  Rogers  divided  the  centre  chores 
and  played  well  all  season. 

A  team  is  as  strong  as  its  weakest  reserve.  The  fact  that  Argos  are  champs 
speaks  worlds  for  the  other  members  of  the  squad.  Jack  Mackenzie,  Harry  Try- 
horn,  Jack  Shelton  and  Jack  Ellard.  These  boys  filled  in  admirably  whenever 
they  were  called  on.

Ham //ton 

During  the  season  Hamilton  literally  ran  through  the  Junior  Football  House 
League.  The  players,  for  the  most  part,  were  tenth  graders  and  they  had  an  edge 
in  experience  on  the  other  boys.  However,  the  competitive  spirit  of  the  latter  was 
stirred  up  and  as  the  days  passed  the  leaders  found  the  "going"  was  becoming 
tougher.  In  the  playoffs  for  the  championship  Argos  wrecked  the  mighty  Hamilton 
machine  in  two  straight  games  before  highly  excited  crowds. 

A  word  about  the  players. 

Joe  Solarski  quarterbacked  the  team,  kicked  and  threw  those  famous  Solarski 
to  McBride  touchdown  passes.     Frank  Healy  helped  out  immensely  at  quarter. 

Frank  Vaclavek,  Tom  Newberry  and  Stan  Zeglen  formed  one  of  the  highest 
scoring  half  lines  in  the  league. 

The  end  positions  were  well  looked  after  by  Denis  McBride,  Alan  Pollock 
and  Roy  Mitchell.  This  trio  were  deadly  tacklers  and  sure-catch  pass  receivers. 
They  scored  26  touchdowns;  McBride  was  the  league's  leading  scorer  with  71 
points. 

Joe  Kelly,  John  Grube  and  Jim  McCool  alternated  at  centre  and  were  noted 
for  their  hard  tackling. 

In  three  exhibition  games  Hamilton  upheld  the  honor  of  St.  Michael's  by 
trouncing  De  La  Salle  11  to  0,  18  to  0,  and  30  to  5.

Named  after  that  famous  team  which  came  so  close  to  winning  the  Canadian 
football  title  this  year,  the  Ottawa  team  of  the  Junior  House  League  did  not  attain 
such  dizzy  heights  as  did  its  namesake. 

It  would  be  hard  to  pick  out  individual  stars  on  this  team,  but  the  clever 
signal  calling  of  Basil  Gregoire  at  quarterback,  the  hard  charging  "pony"  backfield 
featuring  Johnny  Morrison  and  Bob  White,  and  the  sure  tackling  of  Eddie  Glynn, 
Bernard  Blagdon  and  Earl  O'Neill  along  the  front  line,  all  combined  to  give  Ottawa 
a  starting  line-up  which  was  more  than  a  match  for  its  inter-school  rivals. 

Not  for  many  a  year  has  "The  Old  Elm",  that  sly  old  gentleman  who  for 
generations  has  watched  St.  Michael's  boys  at  play,  seen  «uch  a  razzle  dazzle  attack 
as  was  featured  by  the  Ottawa  team  of  '39. 

As  the  season  advanced.  Captain  Gregoire  and  the  hard  running  Morrison 
passed  and  ran  their  team  into  a  playoff  berth.  In  the  first  playoff  series  a  newcomer 
in  the  person  of  Bob  Burns  broke  into  the  line-up  and  immediately  proceeded  to 
make  tackles  all  over  the  field. 

When  reserve  strength  was  needed,  Peter  McDevitt,  Mike  Ritchie,  Gerard 
O'Gorman,  Murray  Gibbs  and  Norman  Lingeman  injected  new  life  into  the  team. 
Martin  O'Leary  acted  in  the  capacity  of  manager  and  chief  rooter.

The  Junior  O.H.A.  Team 

Our  only  representatives  in  the  O.H.A.  this  year  were  the  "Buziers",  a  team 
well  worthy  of  the  name,  St.  Michael's.  This  battling  band  of  youngsters  exhibited 
those  famous  and  essential  characteristics  of  the  Irish  race — the  will  to  win  and 
the  hatred  of  defeat.  Though  their  efforts  were  not  rewarded  with  a  champion's 
crown,  they  will  long  be  remembered  as  the  surprise  team  of  1940. 

Built  around  the  Midget  City  Champions  of  last  year,  this  club  was  an  early 
disappointment.  Exhibition  games  ended  in  woeful  defeats,  men  were  injured,  all 
confidence  was  gone — but  not  for  long.  Due  to  the  tireless  efforts  of  Mr.  Cy  Carter, 
the  coach,  and  his  assistant,  Don  Dunbar,  the  ace  of  the  U.  of  T.  hockey  team, 
these  "beardless  boys"  soon  became  a  solid,  determined  unit,  full  of  pep,  fight  and 
hope. 

In  the  group  games  St.  Michael's  breezed  to  easy  victories  over  U.T.S.,  but 
when  they  met  Upper  Canada  they  encountered  a  team  which  was  superior  in 
experience,  weight  and  speed.  What  the  Irish  lacked  in  these,  they  made  up  in 
determination  and  the  ability  to  play  as  a  unit.  Defeated  and  tied  during  the  regular 
season,  they  set  out  to  extend  U.C.C.  to  the  limit  in  the  playoffs.  When  this  mem- 
orable series  began,  St.  Mike's  found  themselves  outweighed,  outclassed  but  not 
outfought.  The  Buzzers  extended  this  stylish  club  from  North  Toronto  to  the  limit. 
When  Joe  Primeau  sent  his  boys  against  the  Double  Blue  clad  warriors,  he  found  that 
they  were  meeting  a  team  that  was  determined  to  give  their  all  for  victory.  "FIGHT! 
FIGHT!"  That  was  the  slogan  and  the  boys  certainly  followed  it.  They  fought 
and  played  themselves  into  exhaustion.  At  the  end  of  the  second  period  of  the 
final  game  St.  Mike's  were  trailing  1 — 0  in  a  game  that  was  overflowing  with  thrills 
and  excitement.  The  pressure  exerted  by  U.C.C.  in  the  last  period  was  too  much 
for  St.  Michael's  and  they  wilted  under  the  onslaught.  Though  defeated  they  were 
far  from  vanquished.  A  spirit  such  as  the  one  they  possessed  could  never  be 
vanquished. 

Now  a  word  about  the  players.  The  Captain,  a  brilliant  net-minder,  a  fine 
fellow,  a  leader  and  a  good  Irishman,  was  Joe  Cleary.  The  fight  and  spirit  he  in- 
stilled into  the  team,  gained  him  much  praise  and  popularity.  Then  there  was  a 
pair  of  hard  hitting  defencemen,  two  more  good  Irishmen,  "Willy"  Callahan  and 
Bill  Doyle.  The  latter  was  the  leading  scorer  on  the  team  and  the  best  defenceman 
in  the  league.  Fiery  Joe  Crothers  was  a  worthy  substitute  for  this  important 
position. 

Frank  White,  Farrell  Gallagher  and  Frank  Bennett  formed  a  fighting  first  line 
that  threw  fear  into  the  opposition  whenever  they  stepped  on  the  ice.  The  object 
of  the  second  line  was  to  disorganize  the  enemy  attack,  a  job  left  to  Lionel  McCauley, 
Cecil  Zambri,  Lloyd  Coburn  and  Brian  McDonough.  Future  stars  are  Murphy, 
Midghall,  Desilets  and  Ferguson,  who  formed  a  formidable  group  of  substitutes. 

Thus  the  unpredictable  Irish,  the  galloping  Gaels,  have  gone  through  another 
season.  Although  the  team  did  not  bring  a  championship  to  St.  Michael's,  never- 
theless all  agree  that  the  success  of  the  team  was  beyond  all  expectations.  The 
student  body,  too,  is  to  be  congratulated  for  their  support,  moral  and  vocal,  that 
was  so  prominent  during  the  season  and  especially  during  the  play-offs  with  U.C.C.

The     Midgets 


This  year's  Midget  Team  is  built  around  George  Dodd,  of  last  year's  Midget 
Champions,  and  eight  of  last  year's  Minor-Midget  Champions.  Practice  began 
last  December  and  a  very  powerful  team  was  organized.  They  were  determined 
to  keep  that  Midget  Cup.  They  swept  through  the  College  Group  with  seven  wins 
and  one  loss,  beating  U.T.S.  13 — 0  and  12 — 0;  Forest  Hill  11 — 0  and  7 — 0;  Runny- 
mede  2 — 0  and  4 — 0;  and  U.C.C.  3 — 1.  The  lone  loss  was  inflicted  by  U.C.C.  5 — 2. 
However,  in  the  group  finals  they  proved  their  superiority  over  this  team  by  defeating 
them  1 — 0  and  4 — 2.  In  the  playoffs,  the  first  Irish  victims  were  Allan  Boys  who 
bowed  out  4 — 1  and  3 — 0.  As  this  edition  of  the  Thurible  goes  to  press,  the  Midgets 
enter  the  semi-finals  against  St.  Helen's.  The  winner  of  this  series  will  play  the 
Shamrocks  for  the  title.  Wishing  the  Midgets  the  best  of  luck,  it  is  the  sincere  wish 
of  faculty  and  students  to  see  the  Cup  emblematic  of  the  City  Champions  return 
once  again  to  our  School. 

A  word  about  the  players: 

Jean  Marois  and  Barry  Sullivan  alternated  brilliantly  in  the  nets.  George 
Dodd  and  Bernard  Labraico,  Jim  Sweenie  and  Clare  Walsh  formed  a  hard-hitting 
defence.  The  Gerry  Hickey,  Tom  O'Neil,  Gerry  Gregoire  line  was  the  high 
scoring  unit;  while  the  scrappy,  spirited  line  was  composed  of  Wally  Finley,  Paul 
McLean  and  Kervin  McDonough.  Bob  Gravelle  and  Frank  Milligan  round  out 
the  squad.  WALLACE  FINLEY,

The  Minor  Midgets 


The  world  of  sport  presents  many  oddities,  many  interesting  peculiarities 
which  constantly  and  inevitably  show  their  form.  To  this  wonderworld,  St. 
Michael's  College  has  continually  added  its  contribution,  and  this  year  at  St. 
Michael's  an  outstanding  Minor  Midget  team  has  risen  to  great  renown  through 
its  merits  and  through  its  courage. 

Entering  the  playoffs  with  a  perfect  record,  this  exceptional  team  promises  to 
make  a  strong  bid  for  the  championship.  With  skillful  line  play,  with  powerful 
defence  and  with  unerring  goal  keeping,  this  team  is  the  delight  of  all. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  playoffs  the  first  line  of  Gregory  Carter,  Maurice  Sadler 
and  Lawrence  Cahill  had  scored  twenty-five  goals  out  of  the  team's  total  of  thirty- 
three.  Greg  Carter,  the  tricky,  fast-skating  centre  has  become  famous  in  the  scoring 
parade,  with  thirteen  goals  to  his  credit.  Every  game  has  seen  splendid  hockey  from 
the  star  wing  men,  Sadler  and  Cahill.  A  second  line,  formed  by  Bill  Conway  at 
centre,  Hugh  Morin  on  left  wing,  and  Eugene  Brown  at  right  wing  was  intensely 
active. 

A  hard  hitting,  impenetrable  defence  in  Gerald  Murphy  and  Bernard  Roach 
saved  the  day  time  after  time.  The  alternate  defence,  Charles  Reeves  and  Vinny 
Brown,  is  deserving  of  great  praise  and  will,  no  doubt,  play  an  important  part  in  the 
drive  towards  a  championship.  Frank  Hickev  is  an  important  cog  in  this  well- 
drilled  machine.      He  proved  one  of  the  best  goalies  in  Minor  Midget  Hockey.

The  Bantams 


When  St.  Michael's  Bantams  perform,  onlookers  are  watching  the  Minor- 
Bantam  team  that  last  year  brought  the  T.H.L.  King  Clancy  Series'  trophy  to  the 
halls  of  St.  Michael's.  Let  us  take  a  peek  into  the  dressing-room  of  the  Bantams 
as  they  prepare  to  take  the  ice  and  see  just  who  these  stars  are. 

We  look  in  and  whom  do  we  see  there  occupying  the  centre  of  the  floor  but 
Captain  Hugh  Foley.  The  tall  defenceman  is  occupied  in  donning  his  armorial 
padding,  sheathed  from  head  to  foot,  he  presents  an  imposing  picture  of  a  knight  of 
the  rink.  Over  in  one  corner  we  find  the  starry  forward  line  of  Pete  D'Agostino, 
Paul  Kane  and  Joe  Sadler  discussing  some  point  of  common  interest.  Mai  Fryer 
and  Ted  McLean,  the  midgets  of  the  team  are  huddled  together  in  one  corner  trying 
to  make  themselves  seen  and  heard;  these  two  boys  have  borne  their  share  of  the 
hockey  burdens.  Joe  Marzalik,  hard-skating  centre,  is  taping  his  stick,  in  a  deter- 
mined manner.  Joe  is  perhaps  the  most  annoying  individual  to  any  enemy  centre. 
Johnny  Wilson,  general  utility  man  of  the  team,  is  smiling  at  something  or  other. 
Johnny  has  been  a  hard  worker  all  year.  We  see  Ray  Midghall,  too;  Ray  is  the  big 
boy  on  the  defence  famed  for  his  sparkling  rushes.  "Here  buckle  me  up,  some- 
body!" Johnny  Bennett,  the  boy  that  opposing  forwards  find  covers  the  goal  in 
a  most  discouraging  manner,  holds  up  his  pads  in  front  of  him.  Pat  Powers,  who 
often  hops  over  the  boards  when  the  Bantams  have  a  lead  and  want  to  hold  it, 
obliges  him  with  a  grin.  Jack  EUard,  assistant  goalie,  who  should  come  along  in 
future  years  is  hustling  around  the  room,  helping  here,  helping  there.

The  Minor  Bantams 

With  the  prospects  none  too  bright,  the  athletic  department  thought  it  wise 
to  discontinue  Minor-Bantam  hockey  this  year  in  order  to  concentrate  on  the 
Bantamis.  But  after  the  first  few  practices,  potential  power  was  seen  in  the  young- 
sters and  St.  Michael's  entered  the  Minor-Bantam  T.H.L.  series.  A  squad  of  about 
thirty  had  to  be  cut  to  the  limit  of  fifteen  players.  Among  those  chosen  to  repre- 
sent the  Double  Blue,  the  outstanding  were  Captain  O'Neill,  Reynolds,  Manning 
and  Morrison.  But  before  the  season  was  very  old,  many  other  stars  began  to 
twinkle.  MacDonald,  a  husky  young  defenceman,  reached  his  peak  in  the  final 
game  of  the  season  to  become  outstanding.  Hector  and  O'Hara,  who  will  be 
eligible  again  next  year,  turned  in  some  great  games;  Hector  was  an  understudy  to 
Morrison,  and  O'Hara  played  at  right  wing.  Mitchell  and  Gately  should  also  make 
good  material  for  the  O.H.A.  teams  in  the  near  future.  McTague  and  MacKenzie 
showed  promise  in  the  last  few  games  and  should  develop  into  great  little  players. 
Nealon,  Gilkinson  and  Johnson  played  no  small  part  in  helping  their  team  to  lead 
the  group  at  the  end  of  the  regular  schedule. 

Who  will  forget  the  devastating  drives  of  Reynolds  from  his  defence  position; 
the  clever  stickhandling  of  O'Neil;  the  heady  work  of  Manning;  the  great  play  of 
MacDonald  on  the  defence;  or  the  stellar  net-minding  of  Morrison?  Then  the 
playoffs;  indoor  ice,  larger  rinks,  and  lack  of  experience  were  accountable  for  the 
upset.     Tough  luck!  but  no  disgrace  for  the  Double  Blue.

HIGHER    EDUCATION 

St.  Michael's,  the  CathoUc  College  in  the  University  of  Toronto,  is  an  inter- 
national institution.  For  almost  a  century  it  has  housed  American  and  Canadian 
students.  Among  its  graduates  it  numbers  many  members  of  the  hierarchy,  clergy, 
and  professional  classes  in  United  States  and  Canada.  St.  Michael's  is  one  of 
four  Colleges  which  constitute  the  Faculty  of  Science  and  Letters  of  the  University 
of  Toronto.  The  College  gives  instruction  in  History,  Ancient  and  Modern 
Languages,  Religious,  Philosophical,  and  secular  Literature;  while  the  University 
provides  Laboratory  facilities  and  instruction  in  all  branches  of  Science  and  Com- 
merce. ALL  DEGREES  ARE  CONFERRED  BY  THE  SENATE  OF  THE 
UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO.  St.  Michael's  students  have  access  not  only  to  lec- 
tures in  their  own  College  but  also  to  those  of  distinguished  professors  of  the 
University  and  to  its  well-equipped  scientific  Laboratories  and  Libraries.  This 
unique  position  is  enjoyed  by  no  other  Catholic  College  on  the  Continent. 

Writing  in  Current  History  with  regard  to  this  arrangement  of  Colleges,  Mr. 
John  H.  Finley,  former  Commissioner  of  Education  of  New  York  and  Associate 
Editor  of  the  New  York  Times,  states:  "The  plan  of  organization  and  administration 
which  has  been  in  operation  in  the  University  of  Toronto  for  a  period  long  enough 
to  test  its  practical  working,  has  in  it  a  suggestion  for  our  own  State  Universities. 
The  affiliation  of  private  denominational  Colleges  with  the  State  University  has 
made  possible  the  advancement  of  learning  without  endangering  the  particular 
religious  beliefs." 

The  product  of  Christian  education  is  the  supernatural  man  who  thinks,  judges, 
and  acts  constantly  and  consistently  in  accordance  with  right  reason  illuminated  by 
the  supernatural  light  of  grace  and  by  the  example  and  teaching  of  Christ.  The 
ideal  student  relies  upon  his  reason ;  he  is  a  student  only  insofar  as  he  uses  his 
reason,  for  the  primary  purpose  of  a  University  is  intellectual.  Culture  which  is 
the  fruit  of  university  education  is  a  product  of  reason.  All  these  statements  are 
true,  but  there  is  this  observation  to  be  made — that  the  reason  which  is  here  pre- 
supposed is  natural  reason  steadied  in  the  performance  of  its  office  by  supernatural 
aid.  Reason  in  fallen  man  does  not  function  normally,  even  as  reason,  except  under 
the  influence  of  supernatural  grace.  It  follows  that  one  who  has  no  contact  with 
grace  will  fail  not  only  morally  but  intellectually.  He  will  fail  not  only  as  a  man, 
but  even  as  a  student. 

Herein  lies  the  relation  to  the  university  of  the  Church  which  is  the  instrument 
of  the  supernatural.  Newman  defined  that  relation  once  for  all  when  he  said 
that  the  Church  is  necessary  for  the  integrity  of  the  university.  The  university  loses 
one  of  its  integral  parts  when  the  Church  is  divorced  from  it,  for  it  loses  its  contact 
with  the  supernatural.  The  Church  is  the  instrument  of  the  supernatural;  it  is 
Christ  in  the  world.  That  is  the  basic  reason  why  your  daily  academic  life  as  an 
undergraduate  must  be  permeated  with  the  liturgical  life  of  the  Church.  Your 
contact  with  the  supernatural  light  of  grace  and  with  the  example  and  teachings 
of  Christ  must  be  made  vital  by  daily  Mass  and  frequent  reception  of  the  Sacra- 
ments. If  you  learn  this  lesson  well  and  continue  to  practise  it,  you  are  our  ideal 
student.

An   Irish    Tale 

"Well!  since  we're  on  the  subject  of  supernatural  oddities  and  curiosities, 
what  have  you  got  to  say  about  it?"  remarked  the  dapper,  Kilkenny-bred,  "returned 
Yank"  who  scoffed  at  anything  relating  to  ghosts.  He  was  one  of  the  contented 
group  sitting  about  the  dense  smoke-filled  room  that  housed  the  bar  of  Spike 
Murphy's  public  house.  It  was  on  a  cold,  rain-lashed  winter  evening.  The  remark 
was  directed  to  Tim  Connor,  one  of  the  most  famous  of  the  many  authorities  on 
weird  tales  that  inhabited  Murphy's  bar. 

Tim  set  the  empty  porter  glass  down  on  the  bar,  lit  his  pipe,  settled  back  com- 
fortably in  his  chair  and  replied: 

"Well  now,  since  ye  ask  me,  I'll  endeavour  to  do  me  best  on  this  little  yarn 
which  will  show  you  that  such  things  as  unearthly  happenings  do  exist."  He 
drew  lustily  on  his  pipe  for  a  few  moments,  then  looked  up: 

"About  forty  years  ago  there  lived  a  man,  Jack  Riordan  by  name,  who  was  the 
most  upright  and  honest  man  I  ever  knew  in  all  County  Down.  He  is  dead  now. 
God  rest  his  soul."  Tim  was  silent  for  the  mbment  at  the  recollection.  "But  to 
get  on  with  me  story." 

"Jack  lived  on  the  adjoining  farm  to  me  father's  along  with  his  wife,  two 
children  and  a  hired  man  named  Paddy  Shea.  One  Sunday  Jack  rode  over  in 
his  cart  to  our  place  for  a  game  of  cards.  It  lasted  late  into  the  night,  and  he 
left  about  one  o'clock.  Now  here's  an  odd  thing.  We  had  had  a  few  drinks 
and  were  joking  with  Jack  at  the  gate  when  he  remarked  that  he  felt  uneasy  about 
going  home  alone.  We  laughed  his  fears  away,  and  he  rode  off.  We  went  to  bed. 
The  next  morning  we  were  awakened  by  a  loud  hammering  at  our  door.  It  was 
Jack  McMahon,  who  told  us  that  Jack  Riordan  was  at  the  very  moment  lying  in 
a  pool  of  blood  at  his  own  gate.  My  father  set  off  as  fast  as  he  could  to  fetch 
the  priest,  and  I  hurried  over  to  see  Jack.  He  was  nearly  gone,  poor  fellow,  and 
died  a  few  minutes  after  the  priest  arrived." 

Tim  stopped  at  this  point  and  glanced  around  the  room. 

"Gentlemen,  isn't  that  a  clear  case  of  premonition  or  whatever  you  call  it? 
Jack  Riordon  was  ki  .  .  .". 

"That's  probably  tommyrot",  interrupted  the  scoffer.  "He  just  mightn't  have 
been  feeling  well." 

"Let  me  finish,"  said  Tim.  "Jack  was  buried,  and  it  went  down  in  the  police 
records  as  an  unsolved  murder  because  there  was  no  one  found  that  could  be  con- 
nected with  the  case.  Meanwhile,  Shea,  the  hired  man  carried  on  with  the  work. 
The  dog,  after  his  master's  death,  refused  to  eat  and  became  so  emaciated  he  had  to 
be  destroyed.  The  horse,  on  the  other  hand,  moped  about  the  fields  and  the  hired 
man  could  not  manage  him.  A  neighbour  took  him  for  ploughing  and  returned 
him  at  night.  One  day  the  hired  man,  tired  of  the  horse's  behaviour,  attempted, 
by  means  of  a  rattan,  to  force  him  to  plough.  The  horse  lashed  out  and  kicked 
him  savagely.  We  rescued  Paddy  and  sent  for  the  priest.  The  doctor  rushed  over 
and  gave  all  the  attention  he  could  to  Paddy.  Paddy  was  dying  and  knowing  this, 
called  for  Jack's  wife.  He  told  her  that  he  had  gambled  some  of  Jack's  money  and, 
when  Jack  threatened  to  expose  him,  had  lain  in  wait  and  shot  Jack." 

"Meanwhile,  the  priest,  hurrying  as  fast  as  he  could,  was  turning  into  the  last

road  to  the  farm  when  his  horse  suddenly  stopped.  Father  Flynn  lashed  the  horse 
in  desperation,  but  still  the  horse  refused  to  move.  Then  the  doctor,  impatiently 
awaiting  the  priest's  arrival,  rode  out  to  meet  him  and  found  him  endeavouring  to 
make  his  horse  go  on." 

"Never  mind,"   said  the  doctor.     "Paddy  is  already  dead." 

"I  know,"  said  the  priest.  He  wiped  his  perspiring  brow,  and  a  shudder 
passed  through  his  form.  "Now  my  horse  will  take  me."  He  climbed  aboard 
his  rig  and  amid  a  clatter  of  stones  rode  away  from  the  astonished  doctor. 

"What  do  you  think  of  my  tale  now,  my  young  friend?"  said  Tim,  pausing  and 
staring  at  the  "returned  Yank." 

The  latter  squirmed  a  little  under  the  penetrating  eyes,  but  rentiained  silent. 

Tim  downed  a  fresh  glass  of  porter  and  smacked  his  lips. 

"Three  days  later  Paddy  was  to  be  buried,  and  there  was  great  preparation  for 
the  affair.  Wakes  in  them  days  usually  attracted  a  large  number,  but  murderers 
were  scarce,  and  for  that  reason  every  farmer  for  miles  around  came  to  see  him. 
The  next  day  Paddy  was  placed  in  a  cart,  and  when  we  tried  to  hitch  Jack's  horse  up 
to  it,  he,  knowing  that  Paddy  had  killed  his  master,  attempted  to  kick  the  cart 
when  he  was  led  into  the  traces." 

Tim  paused   here    to    re-light    his  pipe  and  also  to  ponder    silently    over    the 
facts  he  had  just  presented.     Then 
he  continued. 

"We  buried  Paddy,  and  soon 
he  was  forgotten.  Now  lads,  here  is 
my  final  point.  If  any  of  you  visit 
the  churchyard,  which  is  Kilcum- 
mer,  you  will  see  his  grave,  and 
gentlemen,  this  is  a  true  fact! 
Nothing  ever  grew  on  the  grave  of 
Paddy  Shea,  the  murderer,  except  a 
solitary  thistle!" 

There  was  silence  at  this,  each 
one  turning  the  facts  he  had  just 
received  over  and  over  in  his  mind. 
Then  .  .  . 

"Well  gentlemen!"  it  was  the 
bartender.  Murphy  himself,  who 
was  speaking.  "  'Tis  time  to  be  clos- 
ing it  is,  and  now  lads,  here's  one 
last  drink  to  see  ye  all  home  safely." 
Murphy  filled  the  glasses,  and  in  a 
trice  they  were  emptied.  Then  each 
one  in  turn  set  out  homeward.
